<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Each day when he finished work as a tiler, Qurban Ali drove home, showered and Skyped his family. He listened to stories from his four young children, and chatted to his wife about the car they would buy, and where they would live, when they finally came to Australia.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But one day last September, Mr Ali did not call. He was killed that morning on the on-ramp of Melbourne's South Gippsland Freeway, when a cement truck ploughed into his car.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His body has languished in a Melbourne morgue for seven months since - denied a funeral because the Turnbull government will not let his family visit Australia to bury their husband and father.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"My husband's soul is not going to lie in peace if we don't get to see him for a final time," Mr Ali's wife Saliha told <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> through a translator, speaking from Pakistan where she lives with her children after fleeing Afghanistan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The widow, who fled an abusive fiance to marry the man she loved, said: "To not even see his face for the last time ... I don't know how to live."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton is being urged to intervene after his department rejected Mrs Ali's first visa application. Bureaucrats ruled that conditions were so dangerous and unstable in Pakistan and Afghanistan that the family may seek to stay in Australia permanently.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The department said it was "legally obliged" to reject visa applications that did not meet set criteria.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The family's Australia-based migration agent Marion Le described the decision as "unbelievable".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The stress on that poor girl left in Pakistan with four small children - it's a terrible thing," she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If Australian citizens have someone die overseas they immediately get on a plane and go to investigate what happened, and bring back or bury the body of the deceased person."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Le said Mrs Ali, 39, should also be allowed into Australia to attend court proceedings against the truck driver, who has been charged with dangerous driving, amphetamine possession and other offences.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"[The widow] could not travel here to bury her husband and see him for one last time and go to court, to sit there and have some understanding as to how this man was suddenly taken away."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She said Mr Ali's body could not be returned to Afghanistan because the couple fled that country; nor to Pakistan because they were not citizens, and the widow lives in hiding there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> has sighted a <span class="companylink">United Nations <b>refugee</b> agency</span> document dated January this year, stating Ms Ali is a registered <b>asylum</b> seeker and a "person of concern" who claims to face threats to her life and freedom in Afghanistan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mrs Ali spoke of how she escaped from an angry, abusive fiance in Afghanistan, and a soon-to-be marriage arranged by her father, to marry Qurban, the man she loved.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Hazara couple fled to Pakistan after a family dispute, however Mr Ali also faced danger there and sought safety in Australia. It is understood he arrived by <b>boat</b> and was granted permanent protection, then sought to obtain permanent visas for his family.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mrs Ali sobbed when recalling the moment she learnt her husband was dead. "The whole world fell apart and I couldn't believe it. What was I going to do with the children, where was I going to go?" she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The world became dark, I didn't know what was happening."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Compounding the torment faced by Mrs Ali and her four children, aged between five and 12, are threats to their safety in Islamabad.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mrs Ali said she and her children had been hunted by her former fiance and his family. She said the face of her eldest son still bears injuries from a bashing inflicted by her fiance's brother, and her daughter was beaten on a trip to buy bread.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"My life is hell. I am locked in a house, I can't go outside because I know my former fiance is stalking me and he's probably going to kill me," she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mrs Ali applied for an Australian visitor visa following her husband's death. A letter of refusal sighted by <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span>, details of which the department did not verify, said while Mrs Ali's application had "strong compelling circumstances ... this in itself does not demonstrate that you only intend a genuine temporary stay".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It said Afghanistan was experiencing war, lawlessness and political upheaval, and this combined with social and political problems in Pakistan meant there was a "strong incentive for you to remain in Australia".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mrs Ali indicated to <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> she did not intend to seek a permanent stay in Australia. Ms Le said "she has every right to apply [to stay permanently], but that is not the issue".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mrs Ali's brother Mohib Qasimi lives in Melbourne and has been fighting to bring his sister to Australia. He urged Mr Dutton to intervene.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"She is very upset, she looks like she has lost half of her body [weight]. I'm frightened soon she will get crazy and lose her mind," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coroner's Court of Victoria said Mr Ali's body could not be released until a funeral director was appointed. His family in Australia have declined to do so until his widow and children can attend the funeral.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A department spokeswoman said anyone wishing to visit Australia must satisfy "visitor visa requirements, including health, character and genuine temporary stay criteria".</p>

Or you might tell them your home is hard to find and it’s really not worth the effort.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Migration control is no different and more countries are adopting the persuasive method, otherwise known as the Hollywood method.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the plot already sounds cliched it might be because other countries have used it. Just last September, it was used in a film made by the mayor of Hungary’s Asotthalom, a town that’s on the way from Syria to Germany.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The mayor’s film shows Hungarian authorities chasing unseen refugees on motorbikes, helicopters and even horses through picturesque forests. It’s a bit James Bond, a bit Jurassic Park, but the mayor’s message is clear, “Hungary is a bad choice. Asotthalom is the worst.” It’s ironic that Hungary has made such a film because only a few years ago the <span class="companylink">British government</span> was considering making one aimed at keeping eastern Europeans out, coinciding with the removal of barriers that prevented Bulgarians and Romanians from working in Britain.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it’s easy to see the problem with this, and it’s no doubt the reason the Cameron government decided not to proceed with a film to dissuade Polish plumbers, Romanian cleaners and Hungarian filmmakers from careers in London.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In short, an anti-<b>refugee</b> film can destroy the reputation of a country and undermine the work of trade missions and tourism campaigns. An eye-catching campaign such as Where the Bloody Hell are You? doesn’t work well if there’s another one called Where the Bloody Hell Do You Think You’re Going?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Journey avoids trashing the destination — it’s all about the perilous journey, rather than the detention centre on arrival — but it might be missing an opportunity here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If Australians are worried about economic refugees, then they really should focus on how hard it is to live and work in Australia. So, let’s have a go at writing the script for a documentary that turns away economic refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s Friday night. Two guys are in a Sydney pub downing a craft beer while they wait for friends who are on a “journey” through peak-hour traffic. Those friends won’t make it in time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two women finish puking out the back lane and join the guys in the queue for the bar. One of them — she’s Swedish and she’s got a backpack — asks about accommodation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jeez luv, says one of the guys, you’ll need to donate your left kidney and the labour of your only child if you want to enter the property market. And that will only get you a deposit on a bedsit with plumbing problems.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The other Swedish backpacker asks about a rental property. Yeah luv, says the other guy, we have a spare bunk in the shed but normally we put our Swedish backpackers on the couch. I’ll put your name down on the waiting list.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of the women suggests getting a meal. Goodo luv, food here is great unless you want something fancier than a burger, in which case the other kidney will have to come out.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Finally they reach the bar and one of the backpackers asks about work. Sure luv, we have special work for your sort. Head out into the country until the road runs out, find an orchard and put your name down for fruit-picking work.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It has been 18 months since Sayed* passed the Australian citizenship test, successfully answering questions such as why we celebrate Anzac Day and the colours of the Aboriginal flag.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the Afghanistan-born man is not yet an Australian citizen. He has not been invited to make his citizenship pledge, and his application to bring his wife and three children to Australia is languishing, unprocessed, somewhere inside the Department of Immigration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sayed is one of hundreds of refugees in Australia who say their citizenship applications have been ignored by the federal government, in what one migration agent described as a "deliberate ploy" to punish people who arrived without a valid visa. The department denies this, saying there has been a flood of applications to process.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink"><b>Refugee</b> Council of Australia</span> says the delays deny refugees a sense of belonging, and effectively stop them from sponsoring family members to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Two times I complained to Immigration, they said 'process, process'. Still I'm waiting," Sayed said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Recently my smallest son has had some mental [health] problems. He all the time cries and says 'come back home, I miss you'."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sayed says he fled persecution and torture by the <span class="companylink">Taliban</span> in Afghanistan. He sold his land, said goodbye to his young family and travelled to Australia in 2010. After six months in a detention centre he was granted a permanent protection visa. He says he successfully passed a citizenship test in October 2014 and is now "waiting for the ceremony" to officially become a citizen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Refugee</b> Council chief executive Paul Power said without citizenship, refugees found it difficult to travel to visit family overseas, and were all but prevented from bringing their family to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They are technically able to apply [for family reunion visas] … but they have no hope at all of family reunion while they are permanent residents and not citizens," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The department's website states that from early 2014, "lowest priority" has been given to applications by people on protection visas to bring family to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government claims that more than 80 per cent of citizenship applications are decided within 80 days. However a <b>Refugee</b> Council report last October found that survey respondents from <b>refugee</b> backgrounds had been waiting an average 215 days - and it is understood most are still waiting. Twenty respondents had been waiting more than a year and one had waited 682 days, and counting.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Migration agent Marion Le said long citizenship delays had become "very common" under the current government, and applicants from Afghanistan were most affected. "This is a deliberate ploy by this government to further punish <b>boat</b> arrivals .. it's horrible, absolutely horrible," she said.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The surge in <b>boat</b>-borne people seeking <b>asylum</b> in 2013 was unprecedented. More than 20,580 men, women and children sought refuge on Australian territory or were rescued at sea, and the chaotic situation led the Rudd government to reverse its opposition to offshore processing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ‘‘solution’’, as it was naively termed, was to house <b>asylum</b> seekers in sodden tents, shipping containers and prefabricated buildings in secure compounds on Nauru and Manus Island, pending some other smart idea.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But there was no other idea. That was it. The Gillard government in 2012 had stopped processing <b>asylum</b> seekers, the Rudd government shipped them offshore, and when the Abbott government was elected in September 2013 it began to turn back boats. The people at the heart of all this – the thousands fleeing political persecution, discrimination, vilification and civil unrest – became pawns in an ugly political game.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Through it all, there were the children. You might have glimpsed them hanging on the skirts of their mothers, hoisted from the docks by their fathers, before they were slotted into detention – where they languished. In the first few weeks of 2013, about 1000 children of <b>asylum</b> seekers were in closed immigration facilities. Within six months, the number had doubled.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today, there are no children in formal immigration detention. That is a laudable and respectable achievement, and credit is due to Scott Morrison and Peter Dutton as successive immigration ministers under Coalition governments.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While we welcome the children’s release, the leaders who insist detention is the best response to people trafficking, because it deters potential <b>asylum</b> seekers, deserve denunciation. This inhumane mismanagement of people, including through the detention of children, will long be a stain on this nation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Both the major political parties have promoted policies that caused precious lives to be held in limbo, behind walls and fences and wires, under the watch of security guards, and subjected to institutionalised routines for years. Some children, while in detention, were subjected to sexual and physical assaults, as the <span class="companylink">Australian Human Rights Commission</span>’s Forgotten Children report detailed in November 2014.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That report attracted the wrath of Attorney-General George Brandis, who launched a poisonous and unwarranted attack against the head of the commission, Gillian Triggs, accusing her indulging in political games. The defensive Senator Brandis seemed incapable of accepting that the commission’s damning conclusions applied as much to Labor’s past administrations as to the Coalition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To not be in detention, however, does not necessarily mean freedom. That is a very different concept. Mr Dutton emphasised as much on Monday when he said the 72 <b>asylum</b>-seeker children who were previously on Nauru, but are presently in Australia for medical treatment, will be returned to the Pacific island state.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He says that any <b>asylum</b> seeker who wants to leave can be resettled in a third country, though never in Australia. Firstly, that strategy has proved unsuccessful, at least in terms of the dumb deal struck with Cambodia, which could cost Australia up to $55 million. Even Cambodia’s government is saying the attempted resettlement of five refugees ‘‘is a failure, but at least we removed them from the camp’’. Three refugees have opted to go to their home countries – despite persecution that caused them to flee.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For the rest, to be left on Nauru indefinitely and without genuine choice of relocation or resettlement, is merely another version of detention. It might not be exactly the same as a life lived behind fences, but it is akin to being sentenced to a life without purpose.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Early one morning in the 1970s the cartoonist Michael Leunig opened his Melbourne door to the writers Bob Ellis and Anne Brooksbank.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Unannounced, they had driven down overnight from Palm Beach.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ellis held a Muscovy duck in his arms. The bird spent much time inside and was known in the Ellis circle for adding to the mess and mayhem of the couple's splendid house overlooking Pittwater.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Leunig," Ellis told the cartoonist with a penchant for drawing ducks, "the sea eagle has been attacking the duck. I have brought it down for safe keeping."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Wit, screenwriter, playwright, journalist, commentator, intermittent celebrity, defamer, rampant heterosexual, darling of the Left, duck lover, Bob Ellis has died of cancer. He was 73.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ellis chronicled 1970s Australia, recording a country anxiously awaiting change and then retreating from transformation with both humour and perception. A war baby, he was one of the few of his generation with a university education and his literate familiarity with the Bible, Shakespeare, Peter Sellers, Dylan Thomas, Catcher in the Rye, Catch 22, and Jules and Jim and Black Orpheus produced a form of journalistic commentary that, as his celebrity grew, famously wandered from objectivity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"There was sometimes an heroic madness in what Bob wrote, a sort of metaphysical something," said Leunig, (who released the duck at Daylesford in rural Victoria). "His work could err but at the same time it could contain unsuspected truths."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ellis never mislaid his ability to gatecrash great moments: In 1973, after a long Chinatown lunch, he followed Queen Elizabeth II from her Rolls-Royce up the stairs to attend the Sydney Opera House opening, brazenly waving a clipboard and fountain pen to ward off security. Thirty-seven years later, when Julia Gillard addressed her first prime ministerial press conference, Ellis shattered the room full of love that was the Labor caucus by hissing when the new leader spoke of understanding how Australians were disturbed when they saw <b>asylum</b> seekers arriving by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Born in Murwillumbah in 1942, one of three children, Ellis grew up in a Seventh Day Adventist family. His father, Keith, a commercial traveller; his mother Else, an SDA deaconess. He attended Lismore High School and arrived at Sydney University on a Sydney Teachers' College scholarship.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Menzies' Australia, Sydney University's largely private school-educated student body was an alien world to a slight 16-year-old from the bush with a heavy faith.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So, frozen out socially and physically, dismissed intellectually by poor results, Ellis joined the dramatic society, wrote for and then jointly edited the student newspaper Honi Soit and nurtured an eccentric persona, wandering campus in a long dark coat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The writer Gillian Appleton remains unable to shake the image.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"A woman now prominent in public life admitted to me that she had a one night stand with Ellis. 'I must have been paralytic,' she said," Appleton recalled.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"'I've always wondered', I asked, 'did he take off the coat?' 'Yes,' she said, 'but he left his socks on'."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ellis' panicked sport's car flight with a girlfriend to avoid the 1962 Cuban missile crisis resulted in an AVO from her father (the Packer columnist David McNicoll) and the plot for his 1993 film The Nostradamus Kid.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ellis never taught. But after university he started a cadetship with the Herald. His Broadway run was short. Ellis claimed later that Fairfax paid airfares to Brisbane for passengers who missed the <b>boat</b> thanks to his incompetence with that basic cadet task, the shipping list. The following Monday Ellis waltzed into the ABC.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mike Carlton, in the same cadet intake, remembered Ellis returning from an early Vietnam protest and waiting to subedit the story.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Finally, Bob sauntered over," Carlton said. "The news editor picked up his copy, swore and said 'Here Carlton, make sense of this rubbish'. Bob was so moved by the occasion he filed a sonnet."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some university contemporaries - Clive James, Richard Walsh, Germaine Greer, Bruce Beresford, Mungo MacCallum, Richard Neville, Robert Hughes, et al - left for England and fame.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ellis went to Melbourne.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He worked in ABC news, and filled nights in a strange town with amateur theatrics: his turn as Ernest in the 1966 Beaumaris Players production of The Importance of Being Ernest is still remembered.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He also met Anne Brooksbank. They travelled overseas, he wrote unkind things about the ABC in the Packer-owned Bulletin magazine and left, and in 1970, with Michael Boddy, he wrote the musical play The Legend of King O'Malley.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The same year, Richard Walsh became Nation Review editor, and recalling a 1963 <span class="companylink">Disney</span> parody written by Ellis for the second issue of Oz magazine, offered him the film critic's job.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The weekly newspaper appeared as swathes of baby boomers moved into jobs and Gough Whitlam made Labor a contender, and Ellis' highly personalised incisive style brought New Journalism to mainstream readership.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A celebrity at last, he thrived.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His reporting on the 1971 war in Bangladesh incurred the enduring wrath of John Pilger, Bondi's contribution to Fleet Street.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I do not understand why Ellis bothered with Boys Own Annual bullshit," Pilger said. "Perhaps like Billy Liar, he became utterly consumed by his fantasies."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Said Ellis: "He [Pilger] just didn't like that picture of a narcissistic egocentric slightly contemptuous post-colonial white man in India in wartime, behaving arrogantly."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ellis then turned on David Williamson, the Melbourne playwright whose work with Melbourne's La Mama stole much of King O'Malley's thunder. Ellis' vitriol was hugely amusing, their wives joined the fray, the feud lasted until his death.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He and Brooksbank married in 1977. They had three children, Jack, Jenny and Tom. He co-wrote the 1978 film Newsfront but clashed with co-writer/director Phillip Noyce and demanded his name be removed from credits.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In June 2001, both stood on the stage of Paddington's Chauvel Cinema to celebrate their film's restoration and Ellis declared: "The film was about the nobility of work. I know now that Newsfront was the best film I ever participated in.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I didn't know then how great and testing a compromise movie-making always is ... I should have just put my name back. Stupid, stupid, stupid - but so it goes."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then out of his fountain pen - and sometimes in collaboration - came Fatty Finn, Maybe This Time, Goodbye Paradise, Man of Flowers and My First Wife and The Nostradamus Kid. He also directed Nostradamus and Unfinished Business, Warm Nights on a Slow Moving Train and Run Rabbit, Run.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Later, two scandals did little to help his middle-age employment prospects.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 1997, Neville Wran launched Ellis' memoir Goodbye Jerusalem but it was pulped due to an unfounded anecdote about the pre-marital sex life of Tanya Costello, the treasurer Peter Costello's wife. His publisher paid $277,500 damages to the Costellos and Tony Abbott and his wife.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The court case was an amusing spectator sport for many, with the exception of Mrs Costello.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The day the Federal Court rejected his publisher's appeal, Ellis sat unrepentant in the Federal Parliament's Aussies Cafe: "Mate, you've got to wonder what sort of man would make his wife or former girlfriend discuss her sex life in front of a judge. In any event, the judge decided Tanya Costello's hymen was worth the price of two new Porsches."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After defamation came soap opera.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In May 1999, a lawyer, Wayne Cooper, named Ellis as the father of a girl born to his scriptwriter wife Alexandra Long in a birth notice published in the Herald.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ellis denied paternity and went on 2BL: "Penetration was briefly achieved," he admitted in his trademark mumble. "... bout of impotence ... concluded by oral sex".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Eventually Ellis acknowledged his daughter but his journalistic star dimmed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Apart from the ABC, mainstream media avoided him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So he wrote speeches for Bob Carr, Paul Keating, Kim Beazley and Mike Rann. Some of them tolerated him as a court jester.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ellis is survived by his wife, Anne Brooksbank, and children.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Figures from the Department of Immigration as of March 2016 reveal that only 849 had been granted temporary protection visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">About 6000 applications for protection visas from arrivals before August 2012 had been made to the Government. Less than half had been finalised.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of the 24,500 who arrived after August 13, 2012, however, only half are deemed able to apply for TPVs. A total of 3500 have been lodged – half of them this year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The department said it was committed to meeting a deadline of the end of 2018 to finalise the legacy caseload. However, the Government has warned it could take longer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Labor’s border protection failures, which resulted in 50,000 people arriving ­illegally by <b>boat</b>, left a legacy of 30,000 people whose claims for protection had not been progressed,” Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said.“Labor opposed legislation to resolve the caseload – delaying the process. Labor’s border protection failures had significant human costs, caused massive Budget blowouts and stretched the resources of the Department of Immigration.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Government sources confirmed some children may have been held in detention for years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The final group released included a baby, a 17-year-old teenager and a toddler known as Moubani whose Bangladesh-born mother was one of the lead plaintiffs in a recent High Court challenge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her mother has previously suggested she hopes her daughter becomes a lawyer or a doctor. “In the end, I want what any mother wants: for my daughter to grow up safe and happy, surrounded by people who love her,’’ she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">About 50 children remain on the island of Nauru in an Australian-funded facility, where the government maintains they can move about the island freely and attend local schools. Some live outside of the facility with their families.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The number of kids held in detention peaked at 1992 in July, 2013 just weeks after Julia Gillard was dumped as Prime Minister for Kevin Rudd .</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hailing the milestone as one of the most significant achievements of the Operation Sovereign Borders campaign to stop the boats, Immigration minister Peter Dutton has revealed the final breakthrough came after months of negotiations with families involving some of the most complex cases.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s almost been a decade since there were no children in detention. Eight thousand children went through the detention when Labor lost control of our borders,’’ Mr Dutton told the Sunday <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When I first came into this portfolio I had twin objectives. We wanted to keep ensuring that the boats stopped but I also wanted to get kids out of detention. On Friday night when I got the call, it was something I was proud of.” But Mr Dutton warned that Labor’s election policy to abolish temporary protection visas risked a return to the days of children risking their lives to travel to Australia by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“One of the most significant tools is temporary protection visas. Labor’s plan to go back to the Rudd days by abolishing TPVs is just a recipe for new <b>boat</b> arrivals,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There are 14,000-plus people in Indonesia waiting to hop on boats tomorrow and Labor’s support of the Greens policy to have children and their families cycle out of detention in 30 days would see a bonanza for people smugglers bartering with families to get on boats.” Labor’s shadow minister for Immigration and Border Protection Richard Marles said a Shorten government would remain resolute about keeping the journey closed.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s almost been a decade since there were no children in detention – 8000 children went through detention when Labor lost control of our borders,” Mr Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When I first came into this portfolio, I had twin objectives. We wanted to keep ensuring that the boats stopped but I also wanted to get kids out of detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“On Friday night when I got the call, it was something I was proud of. “This is now one of the most significant achievements of this Government. Now, we need to make sure that we don’t get new arrivals.” But Mr Dutton warned that Labor’s election policy to abolish temporary protection visas risked a return to the days of children risking their lives to travel to Australia by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The reality is there are 14,000-plus people in Indonesia waiting to hop on boats ­tomorrow, and Labor’s support of the Greens’ policy to have children and their families cycle out of detention in 30 days would see a bonanza for people-smugglers bartering with families to get on boats.” The final dozen involved five children from mainland detention centres and seven children who had travelled to Australia from Nauru. Some cases involved children whose parents were deemed a national security risk or suspected people-smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Others involved parents who had been offered the chance to leave and declined. Labor’s Richard Marles said a Shorten government would remain resolute about keeping the route closed.“This Government’s deliberate stall in processing <b>refugee</b> claims, including for children, has been a disgrace.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And today, the federal government has demonstrated why it has been so crucial to ignore the taunts and complaints of the self-appointed “<b>refugee</b> advocates” when it comes to doing the right thing by refugees. The last remaining child in Australian immigration detention has now walked out.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That is a remarkable achievement by the Abbott-Turnbull federal government, but it will absolutely enrage those who have fought so hard against the government’s attempts to stop people-smuggling.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is sad to say there are some Australians who hate the Coalition government so much they would rather see <b>asylum</b>-seekers suffering than admit that the government has finally solved the problem Labor could never fix.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They are a loud and angry group, dominated by GetUp and a grab-bag of doctors and human rights activists who cling to 1970s-era leftist thinking and believe Australia should open its borders to anyone in the world who wants to come here. They think anyone who calls themselves an <b>asylum</b>-seeker should be believed without question and granted citizenship.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They refuse to accept there is anything wrong with the business of people-smuggling, and they say it is the government’s own fault if a <b>boat</b> sinks on the way here. They have claimed for themselves the mantle of “compassion” — yet they demand children be freed from detention and accuse the government of crimes against humanity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They refuse to accept the basic and obvious principle: it is impossible to get children out of detention if people-smuggler boats keep arriving.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All sensible Australians believe we should provide sanctuary to people fleeing persecution in their own countries, but they want this process to be orderly and civilised.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They do not want to see overloaded boats setting sail from Indonesian ports, under the watch of corrupt local officials. They were nauseated by the ­images of men, women, children and babies drowning when a people-smuggler vessel crashed into the rocks off Christmas Island in 2010.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Offshore detention, along with <b>boat</b> turn backs, has stopped the flow of people-smuggler vessels. The figures are clear.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The number of people, including children in immigration detention ballooned after Kevin Rudd abandoned the Pacific detention system, and has shrunk again only after the Pacific solution was restarted under Julia Gillard.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor talked a lot about getting children out of ­immigration detention, but they couldn’t make it happen because they weren’t able to slow or stop the flow of people-smuggler boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Compounding that was the deafening silence from GetUp and other lobby groups that only found a voice after the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd government was removed from office.Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison did what Labor couldn’t and now their successors Malcolm Turnbull and Peter Dutton have brought the ugly chapter to a close. And now the children are out of detention, we must collectively vow to never let this happen again.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He moved back to Afghanistan after the fall of the <span class="companylink">Taliban</span> in 2003 and started his company, the <span class="companylink">Moby Group</span>. He has since enjoyed spectacular success, setting up a range of media companies across the Middle East and central Asia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now headquartered in Dubai, Moby employs more than 1000 people and operates 16 businesses in six countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of these businesses is Lapis Communications, the advertising agency paid $1.63 million to promote and broadcast The Journey, the $6 million telemovie drama commissioned by the Department of Immigration. Mr Mohseni also owns Tolo TV, the channel that broadcast the film in Afghanistan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Mohseni declined to be interviewed by The Sun-Herald but asked Lapis to issue a statement saying the film was all about raising awareness of the very real dangers associated with people smuggling.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The ideas and values around the film are grounded in addressing a very serious and tragic issue - with the ultimate objective of saving lives," a Lapis spokeswoman said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"This film is close to our hearts, and in Afghanistan we have seen the bodies of Afghans who have attempted such journeys arriving back in the country - this has even included members of our team and their families.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If we can better inform people about the realities of this - and be that trusted source for them in this region - then we have contributed to reducing some of the tragedies that we are sadly growing numb to seeing in the media."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lapis was also involved in broadcasting the film in Iraq, Iran and Pakistan, as well as marketing and promoting it on television, radio and social media.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Mohseni is often compared to Rupert Murdoch, with whom he is friends. Mr Murdoch's <span class="companylink">21st Century Fox</span> is a strategic minority shareholder in Moby and the pair are partners in Farsi1, a station the broadcasts to 120 million Farsi speakers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As revealed by <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> last week, The Journey aims to persuade <b>asylum</b> seekers not to travel to Australia. It was produced by Trudi-Ann Tierney of Put It Out There Productions, who has in the past described her own work as "propaganda".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Filmed across three countries, the 90-minute drama tells the story of a group of Afghans trying to get to Australia by <b>boat</b>.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Asylum</b> seekers It’s remarkable that children and their families have been released into the community. - THE NATION</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It wasn't just a good story; it was a good news story, and it was offered on a platter as an exclusive. But my initial reaction was a reluctance to pursue it. "Give me an hour to think about it," I told my source.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The story, which appears in the news section of today's Age, was the revelation that all the babies and children who seemed certain to be flown to Nauru back in February were now living in the community in various suburbs throughout Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This was good news, and a reflection of the success of the Let Them Stay campaign that has seen, among other things, church leaders and parishioners risk criminal sanctions and raids by promising sanctuary to <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So why did I hesitate? First, it remains the Turnbull government's stated intention to return people to Nauru and Papua New Guinea's Manus Island once they have received the medical treatment that required their transfer to Australia. Shining a light on a reality at odds with the government's uncompromising, hardline border protection policy carries the real risk that the government will feel compelled to demonstrate that nothing has changed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Second, the story could send the wrong signal to those who are now into their third year of detention on Manus and isolation on Nauru - acts of self-harm that are serious enough to require medical evacuation are their only hope of escape. Not a good message.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Third was the worry that the story would make it less likely that the government will extend its compassion to more than 70 others who were transferred to Australia for medical attention they are receiving while in mainland detention centres. Among them are some who are still suffering from brutal bashings when the Manus centre was invaded in February 2014 and Iranian <b>asylum</b> seeker Reza Barati was killed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My final reservation was that this news does nothing to change the situation of more than 900 men in the Manus detention centre and almost 500 men, women and children who remain in the Nauru processing centre - many of them at breaking point.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In one sense, the news has the potential to aggravate their sense that they are being singled out for punishment while others in identical situations, who arrived at Christmas Island on a different day or in a different <b>boat</b>, are able to at least begin the process of rebuilding their lives in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nor does it change the situation of the many thousands of <b>asylum</b> seekers in the Australian community whose claims have not yet been processed and who face years of waiting for the prospect of permanent settlement and family reunion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So why run with the story?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The case for publishing boiled down to a single word: transparency. It is remarkable that the children and their families have been released into the community and it does reflect the power of public advocacy. One of the first to speak out, the Anglican Dean of Brisbane, Peter Catt, says the story tells us something wonderful about "Australia's better angels".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just as global opinion was shaped by the haunting image of a toddler washed up on a beach in Turkey, our front-page treatment of pictures of the babies facing removal to Nauru was the catalyst for action on a national scale by religious leaders, teachers, doctors and even premiers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But will this be a fleeting, aberrant positive moment in the overwhelmingly bleak story of Australia's treatment of those who seek protection by coming on boats without an invitation? Or will it be a tipping point?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The danger is that it will be the former unless the major political parties and the key players in the debate have the appetite for a new conversation about alternatives to arbitrary and indefinite confinement of <b>asylum</b> seekers in poor, remote islands.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The starting point for such a conversation is for <b>refugee</b> advocates to accept that the total dismantling of the policies that "stopped the boats" is not an option, and for the major parties to accept that the status quo is simply unsustainable - and to discard the view that compassion represents a "green light" to people smuggling.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It took four years for the Howard government to accept that indefinite detention of <b>asylum</b> seekers on Nauru was not an option and to agree to resettle the last of the Pacific Solution caseload. The catalyst for this decision was a report from a psychiatrist that said the <b>asylum</b> seekers had been suffering mental health problems "for several years" and should be removed "from this kind of environment and atmosphere of consistent hopelessness" at the earliest possible opportunity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The situation of many of those in detention on Manus, in particular, has already reached this point - and it is certain to deteriorate further with moves by the PNG government to separate <b>asylum</b> seekers according to their <b>refugee</b> status with a view to releasing refugees into the community and deporting those whose protection claims are rejected. Two options so replete with dangers that they are not viable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the picture on Nauru is far more complex, the lack of a durable solution, in the form of the prospect of permanent resettlement in a country where there is potential to rebuild broken lives, is producing the same dire mental health outcomes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So we can trundle along, hoping for small cracks of light here or there, or we can see events at home and abroad as opening the way for a new approach or, at least, a new conversation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just as the release of the children and families shows compassion can be compatible with secure borders and orderly migration, the recent meeting of ministers under the Bail Process, co-chaired by Australia's foreign minister Julie Bishop, suggested an openness to greater regional co-operation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Travers McLeod, of the Centre for Policy Development, says the meeting provides "a genuine opening" for building a regional approach to forced migration that is effective, dignified and durable: "The challenge now is for leaders across the region to deploy this new capability and make a difference in responding to mass displacement in the long term, instead of letting short-term thinking dictate counterproductive national responses."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If incentive to act is needed, it can be found in the words of Benham Satah, who witnessed Barati's killing, suffers from post traumatic stress disorder and has been in the Manus detention centre for more than 30 months.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"What is our crime? We have millions of 'whys' for which there is no answer. Please stop all of this. It's enough!"</p>

His picture, and images of many of the others facing removal, appeared on the front of <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> newspapers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than 50 older children who had flown to Australia in family groups because they, or a parent or sibling, needed medical treatment were similarly slated for a swift return to the tiny dot of a country in the Pacific Ocean.</p>

This is a victory for people power, in the form of the Let Them Stay campaign waged by the advocacy organisation GetUp! and the Melbourne-based Human Rights Legal Centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The campaign saw about 115 church groups offer sanctuary to <b>asylum</b> seekers if there was an attempt to force them back to Nauru, school principals and doctors speak out, and state premiers declare a willingness to settle the families and children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is also a victory that just might reflect Malcolm Turnbull's intention to inject a measure of compassion into Tony Abbott's uncompromising border-protection regime. We'll see.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it is only a qualified victory, because the threat of return still hangs over the 148 people who have been released into the community since the campaign began with a High Court defeat - and 71 of the <b>asylum</b> seekers brought back to Australia for medical treatment remain in detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The threat of return to the place she says terrifies her prompts Samuel's mother to cry in the midst of an interview with <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Naomi* says she still has nightmares about her year on Nauru and will fear being sent back "until the end of our life".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The difference between what she and her husband endured on Nauru and life in Sydney in the past three weeks is nearly impossible to describe, she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"There are a lot of good things. If I tell them, one by one, it will take a long time," she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"One is that we don't see [security] officers. We can leave when we wish. We can go shopping. We couldn't do so in detention centre."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And Samuel? "He is very happy. He loves the food I am fixing. He didn't love the food in detention centre. Before we had only one very small room and he couldn't play. Now we have a home."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Before the High Court rejected a challenge to the government's offshore detention regime, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton announced the transfer of the babies and children to Nauru would leave just seven children in detention in Australia - a number he was determined to reduce to zero.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now he is on track to achieve that objective, without sending scores of babies and children to Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GetUp!'s human rights campaign director, Shen Narayanasamy, has no doubt the overwhelming reason for this is the public campaigning of thousands of people across the country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Human Rights Law Centre's director of legal advocacy, Daniel Webb, agrees, saying the campaign mobilised new sections of the community "by making clear that, for all the white noise about borders and boats, this is actually about people".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Four months ago, I sat opposite many of these people as they cried and told us of the horror of their indefinite detention, and their fears of a return to Nauru," Ms Narayanasamy says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We are thrilled to see Mr Turnbull take a step towards a more compassionate approach by releasing many of these people into the community."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Among those still in detention is a 29-year-old Iranian who was transferred to Australia because he suffered debilitating headaches on Nauru. In detention in Darwin, the headaches continue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A qualified welder and talented artist, he says: "I would love to be in community and be a part of community. I'd love to be useful for Australian people."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Among those released is a Sri Lanka mother and her three sons, whose <b>boat</b> was intercepted at sea. The family were among those held for 29 days on a Customs ship before arriving at the Cocos Islands and being transferred to Nauru in August 2015.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The mother suffered horrific burns before fleeing Sri Lanka that were aggravated by the heat and humidity of Nauru. Now, she is preparing to celebrate her eldest boy's 13th birthday and is overwhelmed by the kindness of her new neighbours.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For several months, the boys were taken to school from the Broadmeadows detention centre in a white van and escorted to the gates by burly security guards. Now, they either walk unaccompanied or ride their scooters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Paul Dingle, the principal of Glenroy College, where the two older brothers are students, spoke out in support of the <b>asylum</b> seekers facing removal to Nauru. He describes their release into the community as a great outcome.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As I was kicking back in front of the footy on Friday night I couldn-?t help spare a thought for the families gathered around the idiot box on the other side of the world in Afghanistan watching a telemovie that you and I paid to create especially for them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In all honesty though, The Journey wasn-?t so much a telemovie but a full-throated piece of propaganda warning the vulnerable and impoverished people of dusty old, war-mangled Afghanistan not to come to our beautiful, glistening, conflict-free, wealthy home that-?s girt by sea - at least not by <b>boat</b> anyway.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shot on location in Afghanistan, Malaysia and Indonesia, The Journey traces the (mis)fortunes of a group of <b>asylum</b> seekers who decide not to join the orderly queue at the Australian Embassy in Kabul that promptly delivers imperilled, persecuted people Down Under. No, they choose the dangerous route. Why? They want to escape the <span class="companylink">Taliban</span> of course. ASAP.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Judging by its trailer, The Journey -? which has also screened in Iran, Iraq and Pakistan -? is meant to frighten the pants off people who already have the pants frightened off them every day when they wake up under a regime that enthusiastically embraces slaughtering civilians, violently oppressing women and torture.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The sub-text appears clear: you're better off staying put and waiting patiently for years to have your claim for political <b>asylum</b> processed than trust a people smuggler to get you here. It's not clear from the trailer, however, whether the side-plot of having your head cut off or your family blown up by the <span class="companylink">Taliban</span> while you wait is explored.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Gritty and tense, the trailer features lots of frightened, desperate looking people, plenty of crying and an urgent sense of ever-present danger -? just like your average Wednesday morning in Kandahar I imagine.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Needless to say, The Journey wasn-?t made by Baz Luhrmann. No, it was the Abbott-era brainchild of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection - and it cost Australian taxpayers $6 million! That's apparently more than the combined budgets of the Australian classics Wolf Creek, The Castle and Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Can't wait to see if it wins an AFI.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Impresario Immigration Minister Peter Dutton & Co. handed the Sydney-based Put It Out There Pictures $4.34 million to produce The Journey -? which apparently took a year to shoot -? and then threw a further $1.63 million at another Australian firm, Lapis Communications, to promote and advertise the movie.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sadly we-?ll never know what Margaret and David think about The Journey but at least we know how Put It Out There Pictures feels about its handiwork. Far from being entertainment, -?The film aimed to educate and inform audiences in source countries about the futility of investing in people smugglers, the perils of the trip, and the hard line policies that await them if they do reach Australian waters,-? the company's website says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Simply put The Journey is a vehicle that advertises -?futility-? and-?hard line policies-?. In other words it-?s pure propaganda. Propaganda is defined as -?information, particularly of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view.-? Way to go, team Australia!</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I realise we live in a complicated world in complicated times, but it strikes me as exceedingly daft that we spent so much making a slick, fictional feature film to frighten potential refugees, when all we have to do is show them the reality of our offshore detention program.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why not simply make a series of short ads for Afghan TV that show people being abused and sexually assaulted in our camps on Nauru and Manus Island? Let-?s screen footage of people sewing their lips together through desperation, depression and despair. I imagine it would be cheap and easy to overlay in-camp footage with statistics like the number of deaths of <b>asylum</b> seekers in Australia's offshore camps and how many children we keep behind bars while we decide whether or not they're "genuine" refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But apparently telemovies get the message across better. As an Immigration spokesman explained to Fairfax, "Independent research in these countries has revealed misunderstandings and false rumours about Australia's policy, and a perception that Australia remains a preferred destination country for those seeking to travel illegally by <b>boat</b>. Initial feedback from viewers has been positive."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Positive feedback? Does that mean The Journey is rating well? Or are viewers being polled on whether they-?d be more likely or less likely to let their daughters-? lives be crushed by the <span class="companylink">Taliban</span> than try to take them to Australia by <b>boat</b> after watching The Journey?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That's not the only thing that puzzles me. Why, I wonder, do we even need to screen propaganda in Afghanistan -? let alone $6 million worth -? when our most recently overthrown Prime Minister-cum-back-bencher-cum-sad-face-cum-nuisance, Tony Abbott MP, keeps reminding us every five minutes that he stopped the boats? Not that Malcolm Turnbull, no way!</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Remember? Using high-powered, on-water, hush-hush, operational, sovereign bordered, secret men's business it was indeed Kommandant Abbott and his trusted Immigration/Propaganda Minister Scott "May 10" Morrison who STOPPED! THE! BOATS!</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So ... ah, what's with spending $6 million of taxpayers' money to make a movie that tells people not to come here by <b>boat</b>? They've been stopped, right? The boats? Tony Abbott did it. He said so four times last week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Whatever the answer to that apparent anomaly, the Government must now turn its attention to spending more of our hard-earned on the arts/propaganda. You may or may not have read that we'll also soon be parting with about $30,000 to commission a painting of the utterly disgraced former Speaker, Bronwyn Bishop MP, to be hung alongside other former speakers in the House of Representatives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Again, I reckon we can get those costs down. Let's start by asking, does the nation really need this portrait? If there's agreement that, yes, Australia definitely does require a big picture of Bronwyn Bishop staring across corridor in Canberra, let's find some savings. How about a photo instead? Perhaps Mrs Bishop could supply one of her own liking for free and the taxpayer could pay to have it enlarged to the requisite size at Harvey Norman.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of the few paths to a life in Australia for <b>asylum</b> seekers appears to have been blocked amid claims the federal government has approved just a handful of temporary visas for which 2000 people have applied.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor has slammed the government’s failure to process onshore <b>asylum</b> seekers as inept, and the Greens say the government never intended to follow through on the policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It has been 18 months since then immigration minister Scott Morrison said so-called ‘‘illegal’’ <b>boat</b> arrivals would not be granted permanent protection, as he sought to reintroduce temporary protection visas – a controversial Howard-era measure that Labor abolished in 2008.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The policy included temporary Safe Haven Enterprise Visas, or SHEVs, which would last five years and require refugees to work or study in regional areas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some 2000 people have applied for SHEVs, but the office of Immigration Minister Peter Dutton refused to say how many had been issued.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink"><b>Refugee</b> Council of Australia</span> estimates around 20 visas have been granted, and Mr Dutton’s office did not dispute this figure.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His office would also not say how many temporary protection visas had been granted, and the <b>Refugee</b> Council says this figure is also low – despite 1400 applications being lodged.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The SHEV was integral to Senate crossbencher Clive Palmer supporting sweeping new migration and maritime laws including new powers to detain <b>asylum</b> seekers at sea and fast-track processing that <span class="companylink">Amnesty International</span> said returned refugees ‘‘to the hands of their torturers’’. Mr Palmer did not respond to requests for comment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If neither permanent or temporary protection visas are being issued to <b>asylum</b> seekers, it leaves them languishing indefinitely in detention, facing an uncertain fate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A spokesman for Mr Dutton said processing of Safe Haven Enterprise Visas began in July ‘‘after NSW opted-in to the process’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said Victoria and South Australia only opted-in last month and Queensland confirmed last week it would also take part, ‘‘clearing the way for numbers of SHEVs to be considered and granted’’, adding that the ‘‘assessment and checking process will take considerable time’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor immigration spokesman Richard Marles said the government’s failure to process onshore <b>asylum</b> seekers was ‘‘a disgrace.’’</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘‘It is now the untold story of the Coalition government’s ineptitude in handling those seeking <b>asylum</b>,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Greens immigration spokeswoman Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said the government was ‘‘never serious’’ about issuing the visas. ‘‘We should treat others in the way we would want to be treated and that means we should be offering proper, permanent protection to those in need,’’ she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Refugee</b> Council chief executive Paul Power said his organisation does not support temporary protection visas, and SHEV-holders would be moving to regional communities with few settlement services such as English language support.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Former Vietnamese Community in Australia president Trung Doan said five people from both trips were in jail in Vietnam awaiting trial for their alleged roles as organisers in ­either trip.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ironically best-known for detention, Christmas Island is also a paradise, writes Daniel Scott.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I arrive on Christmas Island in the week after separating from the mother of my two children. The 10-year long relationship has run its course but my life suddenly seems like a shipwreck and I feel like going into solitary confinement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As if those feelings of dislocation aren't enough, our guide, Tim Bull, is not promising much:</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The food's atrocious, don't expect the Ritz," Bull assures me as we step off the three-hour flight from Perth, "and there's not that much to see on the island, except crabs, you'll see plenty of crabs."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As a shell-shocked Cancerian, whose astrological symbol is drawn from the giant crab Karkinos in Greek mythology, I draw a crumb of comfort from the idea of spending four days among my brethren.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It's considered bad luck to crunch a crab," continues Bull, as we drive away from the airport and he conducts a slow-motion slalom along the road.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"As navigator and passenger you're responsible for spotting them," he adds, onerously, "and so far, I've managed to avoid a fatality on every visit for the last 15 years, so you won't let me down, will you?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I focus my eyes on the road ahead. It is like a scene from a B-movie entitled Day of the Crustaceans. Red crabs are scuttling this way and that, and one is parked illegally in the middle of the thoroughfare.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nor is this even during the October to January migration season. It is then that tens of millions of male and female red crabs head to coastal terraces to mate, then, 12 or 13 days later pregnant females continue their journey to the sea to release up to 100,000 eggs each. Finally, after a month growing in the ocean, their 5mm offspring return to make merry on Christmas Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Watch out!" I shout as a kamikaze crab dashes into our path.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Where?" asks Bull, urgently.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"There!" I respond helpfully, as our right wheels miss the crab by two centimetres.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's a relief to get to The Sunset, our motel-style accommodation overlooking the sea in the Settlement, the island's principal town, without any incidents.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I unpack, pour myself a calming drink and sit down on the edge of the bed, which promptly collapses, launching red wine onto the covers and shards of broken glass across the floor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Don't worry," reassures hotel owner Angela Jones as I confess my crime, "it's happened before, we've been waiting for a replacement part for three months. Go and have dinner and we'll clear it all up for you."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Originally from Weston-Super-Mare, a dowdy holiday resort town on the Somerset coast of England, Jones has somehow found a home and a living here, in an Australian territory located 2600-kilometres north-west of Perth, in the midst of the Indian Ocean.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I used to swim in mud as a girl," jokes Jones, gesturing to the glinting Indian Ocean as if to explain her relocation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over recent years, we've seen and heard plenty about refugees desperately seeking Christmas Island as first base to a new life in Australia, about those involuntarily incarcerated at its detention centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indeed, while the Sunset has a sublime coastal location, it stands above the cliffs adjacent to Flying Fish Cove, upon which, on December 15, 2010, a fishing <b>boat</b> carrying 90 <b>asylum</b> seekers from Iran and Iraq, was smashed to pieces. Forty-eight people, including several children, died.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But now the island's detention centre is being closed and its other major industry, the phosphate mine, is reaching its final years of operation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With both major sources of income on the way out, tourism is becoming crucial to the local economy. It's hoped that now the focus can shift onto the island's natural attributes and the 2000 people, including strong Malay and Chinese communities, who have made a home here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's Thursday night, and Bull and I join several locals and visitors for dinner at the Golden Bosun tavern, next door to the motel, as the sunset suffuses the Indian Ocean sky in mauve. The atmosphere is convivial and warm, the service smiley and the food, well, it's not the Ritz, but its tasty and good value.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It's hard to describe how the island gets a hold of you," tourism association manager Karenn Singer tells me over dinner. "Those of us who live here just love it."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I had 10 of the best years of my life here," adds Linda Cash, a scuba enthusiast who returns regularly from the mainland. "I was out diving every weekend."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cash is my buddy the next morning as we set out with Japanese dive instructor Teruki Hamamata (Hama for short) to investigate Christmas Island's narrow fringing reef, a short <b>boat</b> ride from Flying Fish Cove.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We enter the ocean off the island's gnarly, steeply rising northern shoreline, descending beside the expansive slopes of hard coral that form Rhoda Wall. The water is warm, probably 27C, and drifting down, I'm struck by how far I can see under water, by the shifting shafts of sunlight illuminating the ocean.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A large grey whaler shark noses into view, patrolling the wall formed of corals that run the gamut of colours. Sculpted stacks spiral away from the wall and there are intermittent plate corals large enough for a royal banquet.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The reef also appears as undamaged by human contact as any I've dived on in 20 years, like a breathing organism as opposed to one struggling to survive pollution, over fishing and ocean warming.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Finning at the edge of the bottomless blue not only gives divers the impression of floating in space but wide-angle views over congregations of larger pelagic fish like tuna, barracuda and reef sharks. In the wet season, between November and March, whale sharks and manta rays arrive to feed on plankton.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over four dives on two mornings, I see enough to put Christmas Island at the top of my favourite Australian dive sites, alongside Rowley Shoals, 300 kilometres north-west of Broome. But what gives this rocky speck the edge is its hollowed-out limestone shoreline, nudged by waters so diaphanous it could be a Greek Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While cave diving is often tricky, the island's subterranean caverns are easily accessed via shallow entry points. At Thunderdome cave, a simple swim beneath an overhang leads to a dark, sluicing chamber. Delving further in, we eventually surface in an ethereal grotto adorned by stalactites and stalagmites, which sparkle in the light of our torches.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Several dramatic features are accessible by land. At the Grotto, 10 minutes drive from the Settlement, we cool off in a brackish pool beneath a sunlit cavern entrance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One dawn, we walk the 1.5-kilometre boardwalk between Lily and Ethel beaches through a landscape of limestone karsts, where hundreds of brown boobies are nesting. Unperturbed by our presence, we get Galapagos-close to several sets of handsome parents and their white chicks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Inland at the Dales, on a 4WD tour with Lisa Preston of Indian Ocean Experiences, we walk through a rainforest full of huge Tahitian chestnut trees and criss-crossed by natural springs to a waterfall, spilling onto a rock platform like a silky drape.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At Merrial beach we kick back in a natural spa and on the east coast trek to secluded coves named Greta and Dolly after the early settlers' wives. The latter is known for its natural beauty but a recent storm has left it choked with thongs, plastic bottles and other debris, visibly distressing our island guides. At Greta Beach, I pick up an orange lifejacket and for a moment imagine it's a clue to the whereabouts of the missing MH370 and for another contemplate the desperation of <b>asylum</b> seekers for whom Christmas Island represented hope.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I do tai-chi one morning on the lawn of Tai Jin House, the former administrator's house, with Pete Choong, who has decamped from Sydney to teach Mandarin at the island school. I drink long into Saturday night with amiable locals, including the mysterious "Squirrel", who sits at the bar for hours sipping water, at the Bosun Tavern. And massage therapist Steve Watson, a former Perth paramedic, untwists my knotted muscles and encourages my newly hatched plan to return to Christmas Island to mend my shattered carapace.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It may not be the place to find your next partner," says Watson, who has discovered his haven after decades of dealing with traumatic accidents, "but it's a good place to hang out until you're ready to."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It turns out too that our guide, Tim Bull, is full of it, deliberately tempering our expectations of the island's sights and its food.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With a Chinese community in place since it was the first settled in 1898, when phosphate mining began, authentic Sino cuisine is part of the fabric of society. We have memorable dinners on the outdoor terrace of Lucky Ho's restaurant in the Poon Saan community and at the Chinese Literary Association.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Our breakfast of roti and grainy coffee, at the Halal cafe in the Malay enclave of Kampong is lovely.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Did I mention the crabs? Everywhere we go, they appear, as if they own the place, fixing their beady black eyes on us as if to say "watch where you're going, mate".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's not only 40 million or so of the red variety but several other types including wallaby-sized Robber crabs - so named because they'll pinch anything unsecured, in broad daylight - that look like they could have your hand off in one snip of an oversized pincer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Strongly drawn, for reasons previously stated, to this crustacean manifestation, I perform my crab-spotting duties, with perhaps undue seriousness, given their numbers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, after four days driving across Christmas Island, I'm happy to report that not a single shellfish is harmed in the making of this story.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and her Indonesian counterpart Retno Marsudi announced the so-called “emergency mechanism” after regional talks on people smuggling and human trafficking in Bali yesterday.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ministers said the agreement would allow nations in the region to hasten responses in the face of what Ms Marsudi described as Asia’s “migrant crisis”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A mass migration of thousands of Burmese Rohingyas, a Muslim minority, a year ago saw <b>boat</b> after rickety <b>boat</b> of <b>asylum</b> seekers turned back from destinations in South-East Asia.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The emergency mechanism effectively establishes a hotline between Australia’s Ambassador on People Smuggling Issues Andrew Goledzinowski and his Indonesian counterpart Hasan Kleib.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia has instead pushed to criminalise human trafficking and people smuggling uniformly across the region and proposed co-opting the private sector and government agencies to stop the use of slave labour.</p>

Malcolm Turnbull spent yesterday hammering home the differences between Australia’s security situation and the “crisis” of Islamic extremism that engulfs Europe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In unusually blunt comments from this Prime Minister, Turnbull pointed to Europe’s weak borders, decades of unchecked migration — much of it from North Africa — and the hopeless dysfunction of its security agencies, which operate as a series of independent fiefdoms.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Should anyone doubt this, consider the following: in Belgium, the country where Islamist violence is at its most florid, police and intelligence agencies are forbidden by law from sharing information.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull might have also pointed to the ready availability of explosives and precursors, as well as eastern Europe’s booming black market in firearms.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Thankfully, none of those conditions prevail here. But Australians should not fool themselves into thinking we are immune from the scourge of <span class="companylink">Islamic State</span> terror.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many of the drivers that gave rise to the awful violence in Brussels also exist here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australian Islamists have embraced the <span class="companylink">Islamic State</span> cause with unusual enthusiasm, flocking en masse to the Syrian battlefield.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2014, Attorney-General George Brandis told an audience in Washington that ­Australia had, pound for pound, become one of the richest sources of foreign fighters: “I’m sorry to have to tell you that per capita Australia is one of the largest sources of foreign war fighters to the Syrian conflict from among countries outside the ­immediate vicinity.’’ There are 110 Australians fighting in the Syrian-Iraq theatre, many remaining in contact with extremists in Australia. About 50 more fighters from Australia have died in the conflict.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some of those who left Australia, such as former Melbourne man Neil Prakash or Mohammad Baryalei, have been involved in planning attacks here on behalf of <span class="companylink">Islamic State</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So far those attacks have been crude. But, like all criminals, terrorists evolve and what might seem like a primitive capability now could morph into a more sophisticated tradecraft.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While Australia has not experience illegal immigration flows on anything near the scale of Europe, about 50,000 <b>asylum</b>-seekers ­arrived by <b>boat</b> under the previous government. Thanks to people- smugglers who instruct clients to throw away their passports, the identity of many will forever remain a mystery.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These migrants, most of whom are poor and uneducated, could easily become fodder for the next generation of extremist recruiters if they are not properly integrated into mainstream Australian life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Additionally, there are about 190 Australians under investigation for assisting <span class="companylink">Islamic State</span> and about 40 people who fought in Syria and have since returned. Perhaps most worryingly, 165 Australians have had their passports cancelled for extremist activity or because they planned to fight in Syria.Most of them remain in Australia. Deprived of the opportunity to conduct jihad in Syria, they may instead elect to wage it here.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Umit Bali is beaming. The smile on the poster for the comedian’s new show could power a suburban home, and the title, Aussie at Last, gives you an idea why.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bali’s Fijian-Indian family spent 15 years living in Sydney as illegal immigrants. They weren’t <b>asylum</b>-seekers and they didn’t arrive by <b>boat</b>, but they were part of the shadowy population of visa overstayers that outnumber immigration detainees by two to one — keeping a low profile, working cash in hand, living under the perpetual threat of deportation. For Bali, that’s a rich seam of humour.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Even our relatives didn’t know where we lived because if you dobbed in an illegal you got $2000 and these are Indians we’re talking about,” he says. “You stop being their relatives and become big walking dollar signs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When I got my citizenship I was really happy because it meant stability and certainty that I’d never known before. It’s been easy to adjust but we’ve been pretending so long … It’s like, now what? Because we did it for 15 years it’s woven into our way of operating.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Nothing’s really changed. Just we don’t have to move house every time people come over.” His parents left Fiji’s instability and repeated coups d’etat on tourist visas in 1998.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“In Fiji there’s no system for getting here, it’s just: get there. So a lot of my relatives who studied were able to get points and come that way. Richer relatives were able to bribe people or get a marriage of convenience. My dad was a cab driver who dropped out of high school so we didn’t have options like that. So we came on a tourist visa — but they’re hard to get in Fiji. They never give one to the whole family because they know you’re not coming back.” Once in Australia, a surprise pregnancy turned out to be a surprise path to citizenship, which they finally acquired in 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My mother wasn’t sure she wanted to have a baby — ‘What if it doesn’t work out over here? I don’t want to take a baby back to Fiji and have that life.’ But I really wanted a sibling so I said, ‘Ma, have the baby! Have the baby! Have the baby! I’ll feed it, I’ll clean it, I’ll walk it.’ So she had the baby — and it was great because when she turned 10 she became an Australian citizen. That gave my parents a loophole to apply to stay here because of her, and that’s how they got it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“And she knows that. That’s a big bargaining chip for a 13-year-old: she has an iPhone 6S.” Aussie at Last follows a show called Flight Plan, and his material is as autobiographical as the name suggests.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’m not good at making stuff up,” he says, “but I found early on that if I talk about stuff that really happened, people find it funny — there’s heart involved.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If I was serious maybe I’d write poetry about it.” In an increasingly competitive market, it’s good to have a backstory, and to stand out from the straight white male stand-up comedy crowd.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Ten years ago when I first started, there wasn’t an industry. You’d have an MC, a headliner and one person doing 20 minutes. Now if you go to a room where you sign up on the night, there will be 40 or 50 comics trying to get a spot. So you need to have (a point of difference). ” Bali, 31, has a few points of difference. He’s from Fiji, of Indian ethnicity, with an American ­accent (having learned English from US television — his first language is what he calls “ghetto Hindi”), a first name that’s kind of Turkish (long story) and a surname that’s from another holiday destination altogether. Yet the way he sees it, that all makes him typically Australian.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“No one actually feels like they belong in Australia,” he says. “Even if you’re really Aussie, you see an indigenous person and you remember, ‘Oh, crap …’ Even ­Aboriginal people have been uprooted so much, they often don’t feel they belong where they are. The whole thing about being Australian is feeling like you don’t belong here.” His background gives him some licence to lampoon a wider range of people than Anglo comics can, but he tries not to abuse it. “I tend to get away with a lot of stuff I shouldn’t, but I try to only make fun of my culture and white people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I love it when white people come to my show because at the end of it they come up and say: ‘Hey, that was really funny and we didn’t know all those things, thank you for sharing those stories with me.’ When Indian people come to my show, they’re like, ‘Yes yes, we know life is hard but please get on with the jokes.’ ” Any racism he encounters is, he says, mostly from ignorance and not malicious — though there was that time at a barbecue when a friend’s uncle chased him with a stick, thinking he was stealing an Esky.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Every person I’ve met has been friendly to me,” he says. “So it blows my mind to hear about Nauru and things like that. It’s so not connected with what I’ve experienced. And I meet people who are against immigration but they like me. So if (the <b>asylum</b>-seekers) were here, they’d probably like them too.” His main reason for pursuing a comedy career — a tough but “validating” way to earn a living — is the hope of helping his family; his father is a handy man and 60, and his mother is unable to work since a car accident. But as a side effect, he has found it satisfying that talking about his life helps break the ice on immigration, race and culture. “A lot of immigrants like myself, we tend to keep that part of our life separate so as not to be judged, and to fit in. But when I tell these stories I find people come up to me and say, ‘I’ve got a friend at work who’s in the same situation as you and we had a long talk about it.’ “It brings people together … And as soon as you make someone laugh you immediately have this connection with them you never had before — they’ll probably lend you money or give you a kidney.”Umit Bali is at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival from Thursday to April 3 and the Sydney Comedy Festival on May 11, 13 and 15.</p>

When Saigon fell to the Viet Cong in 1975, Mr Pho's despair and hopelessness would eventually force him from his home. Three years later, on the day of his 21st birthday, he was crammed with 182 others on a small <b>boat</b>, with no family or friends. And with</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">just $US60 ($80), his papers and the clothes on his back, he sought refuge in Australia. "It was the first time in my life I</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">understood the word 'hopeless'," he said. "Can you imagine that? Hopeless." It would get worse before it would get better. And during the harrowing journey he experienced the frightening reality of desperation when civility vanished and survival became fraught. While lying ill on the lower deck, Mr Pho heard a husband and wife fighting bitterly over a single piece of fruit. He could not comprehend such bitterness over something so petty, until the piece of fruit fell through the <b>boat</b> to him. "I just quickly grabbed the</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">fruit," he said. "And in my mind I thought if anyone comes down here to get it from me, I am going to kill that person. I could not understand why this couple was fighting, and then suddenly I became an animal myself." Mr Pho said public views on migration had markedly changed in his lifetime. "It saddens me that people now are in the same situation that I was in," Mr Pho said. "If I had left even in the '90s I wouldn't have gotten the same treatment." While the treatment of refugees</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">who come to Australia by <b>boat</b> remains a prominent issue in Australian political discourse, the number of refugees of concern to <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> reached an estimated 15.1million people in mid-2015. Mr Pho said he was drawn to the <span class="companylink">Salvation Army</span> because of the charity's ability to combine faith with salvation through action.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">UNHCR Indonesia representative Thomas Vargas told The Weekend Australian the agency was at “breaking point” trying to cope with an unprecedented global <b>refugee</b> crisis, and new countries had to start pitching in to ease the burden on traditional resettlement countries such as Australia, Canada and Germany.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Countries who are equipped to do so need to start thinking about doing that more, not only because of the pressures elsewhere but because they have also reached a point that they are more developed and more able,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Indonesia is not at that point but other middle-income countries where there are job opportunities need to start thinking about that.” Up until last month Malaysia was considering taking in 1.5 million guest workers but has ­reversed that policy under domestic political pressure. Thailand is another middle-income nation which takes in hundreds of thousands of guest workers, but does not offer <b>refugee</b> resettlement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Forty-four member countries will meet under the umbrella of the Bali Process on the Indonesian resort island on Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss ways of dealing with people trafficking, transnational crime and <b>asylum</b>-seekers, including how to avoid a repeat of last May’s regional crisis in which thousands of Rohingyas were stranded at sea with no country prepared to offer safe port.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indonesia warned this week that its 13 <b>refugee</b> centres were bursting at the seams — with a fivefold increase in the past seven years — and called for Australia to take in more refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We hope Australia will consider increasing its take of the refugees,” director-general of immigration Ronny Sompie told the Jakarta Post.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Southeast Asian nations such as Thailand and Malaysia have long argued <b>asylum</b>-seekers are not interested in settling in developing nations, and are focused on starting a new life in stable, first-world countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Mr Vargas says Asia’s economic landscape has changed since the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span>’s 1989 Comprehensive Plan of Action was drawn up to deal with the Indo-Chinese crisis. Then, Asian nations agreed to temporarily take in refugees only as long as it took to resettle them in countries such as Canada and Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The situation has changed in that there are middle-income countries in this region and the global crisis we are seeing right now is in proportions we have never seen before,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We can’t expect that there’s going to be the same right of resettlement out of Southeast Asia we have seen in the past because of the demands elsewhere.” With millions of refugees now knocking on Europe’s doors, close to 60 million people displaced worldwide, refugees in Southeast Asia were no longer a priority for most traditional resettlement countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia and the US had both agreed to raise their intake of ­Syrian refugees from Europe, meaning there would be fewer spaces for those awaiting resettlement in Indonesia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Germany used to offer resettlement out of Indonesia but, having accepted close to one million people out of Europe last year, could not be expected to also take people out of Southeast Asia, Mr Vargas said. “The bottom line is that everywhere we are at our limits. The need greatly surpasses what we can handle. It’s tough and we’re trying our best to find solutions for refugees.” Right now, a record 13,679 people are registered with the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> in Indonesia to go through the formal <b>refugee</b> resettlement process — compared to 8332 in 2013. In 2015, the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> submitted close to 1000 cases to resettlement countries but just 600 departed. To a large extent those numbers reflect the success of Australia’s hard line policy in stopping <b>asylum</b>-seekers, including turning boats back ­despite Indonesia’s continued protests and opposition from the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Where once <b>asylum</b>-seekers would stay in Indonesia only as long as it took to hop on a <b>boat</b> to Australia, most now recognise the futility of that course and are instead submitting to the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> process. That has brought its own consequences, and <b>asylum</b>-seekers in Indonesia are now waiting up to two years for their first formal interview, with little means of support.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Prohibited from working in Indonesia, and with <b>refugee</b> centres already overcrowded, most are relying on the support of family and friends — many themselves struggling to survive in conflict zones.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Unless regional nations showed a willingness to pitch in, and Australia overturned its current refusal to accept even <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span>-referred refugees who arrived in Indonesia after June 2014, that situation would only ­deteriorate, Mr Vargas warned.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While successive Australian governments have argued <b>asylum</b>-seekers must go through the front door, and not push in ahead of <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span>-referred refugees who have waited years to complete the formal process to third country resettlement, its current policy meant the front door was also closed. “Unless Australia changes that policy the pipeline will dry out,” he added, creating a situation that would render the current even more unmanageable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That is not good news for Abdullah Hashimi and thousands like him. Mr Hashimi worked as an interpreter for the US and then the Italian military in Afghanistan but was forced to leave in 2014 after he was chased by two armed insurgents through the western city of Herat. He fled for Kabul that night, arrived in Jakarta within weeks and the same day turned up to the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> headquarters to formally register as a <b>refugee</b>. That was September 2014. Six months later he was given a March 15, 2016, date for his first ­official interview.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For over a year he has lived with fellow Hazara <b>asylum</b>-seekers in Cisarua, a hill station south of Jakarta, but in the past few months has had to rely on the charity of friends — cleaning and cooking for his housemates in lieu of rent — in the hope the last of his savings would see him through the process.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is not to be. Mr Hashimi came down to Jakarta this week, only to be told his interview had been deferred until September.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I don’t know how I am going to survive,” he said. “I told my father in Afghanistan and he promised to do something for me but he does not know what right now.” Mr Hashimi fled to Indonesia in the hope ending up in Australia but, like many waiting in Indonesia, says he would readily accept residency from a country like Malaysia or Thailand.“Of course, if they offered me I would accept straight away,” he said. “I would be happy because the only thing that was important to me was to save my life.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The report, handed to the government this month, confirmed border protection policy and fears of landing in Nauru or on Manus Island were deterring many <b>asylum</b> seekers from making the perilous <b>boat</b> journey.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However it also revealed some were waiting for government policy to change and people-smuggling to resume.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“For a large number of interviewees, learning of the detail of Australian government policy, including the sea route migration pathway being ‘closed’, the arrangements to transfer <b>boat</b> arrivals to regional processing centres, and immigration detention on Nauru and Manus Island, acted as deterrents,” the report said.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Iran's Foreign Minister, Javad Zarif, met Ms Bishop in Canberra on Tuesday and signalled he was willing for officials to keep talking with Australia on the voluntary return of Iranian <b>asylum</b> seekers deemed not to be refugees.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Dr Zarif reiterated Iran would not accept forced repatriation of its citizens. "We cannot force anybody to come back to Iran, but if anybody wants to come back voluntarily, we always take our citizens with pride," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coalition has lobbied for a deal to return some of the estimated 7000 Iranians who have arrived by <b>boat</b> in Australia since 2009 and now live on bridging visas, with the issue top of the agenda when Ms Bishop travelled to Tehran in April last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Zarif also met Immigration Minister Peter Dutton for what was called a "working lunch" in the Parliament House building.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Zarif's visit, the first by an Iranian foreign minister to Australia since 2002, follows the landmark nuclear agreement that led to the removal of crippling international sanctions on Iran in January.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Iran's decision to test long-range ballistic missiles last week - with some photographs suggesting soldiers adorned the weapons with messages threatening Israel - has renewed tensions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Zarif confirmed Ms Bishop had asked about the missile test and conceded the launch would likely have violated previous Security Council resolutions before the nuclear deal, but this restriction no longer applied.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Iran will never use any means to attack any country, including our missiles. These are only for our defence," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I challenge those who are complaining about Iran's missile program, taking photographs and making slide shows and all of that in front of the Security Council to make the same statement."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Ms Bishop said Australia would support a <span class="companylink">UN</span> investigation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Just to be clear, having raised our concerns in the manner that I did, having heard the Foreign Minister's explanation, it is Australia's position that should the <span class="companylink">UN Security Council</span> wish to investigate this matter, then that would be the proper legal process for it to do so," Ms Bishop said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet Russia, which like the US wields a veto in the council, appears unlikely to support a probe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor's foreign affairs spokeswoman, Tanya Plibersek, met Dr Zarif on Tuesday and on the prospect of returning failed <b>asylum</b> seekers said there would need to be "very strong assurances that people are going to be safe on return".</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I n 2002 I sat through all of the Senate committee hearings into the infamous "children overboard" incident of October 6, 2001. The evidence presented to the Senate select committee into a certain maritime incident was riveting, the final report a gripping expose of the then-government's deliberate manipulation of the facts. The children overboard incident began just before a federal election; when an Australian naval vessel, HMAS Adelaide, intercepted an unseaworthy wooden <b>boat</b> carrying 223 <b>asylum</b> seekers 100 nautical miles north of Christmas Island. Under orders to turn the vessel back at all costs, the captain of the Adelaide, Commander Banks, was eventually forced to rescue the <b>asylum</b> seekers from the sea and bring them on board after the <b>boat</b> had sunk. The story released to the Australian public was that the <b>asylum</b> seekers had thrown their</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">own children overboard in order to be rescued and obtain <b>asylum</b>. It was clear that militarising Australia's approach to <b>asylum</b> seekers had removed any humanity from the government's response to <b>asylum</b> seekers. When Commander Banks gave evidence before the Inquiry, he was unequivocal that his orders were to deter people rather than rescue them, which would have been "mission failure". It was clear from his testimony that he was dismayed his crew had been used as political tools, and he was proud of them and their courage in</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">rescuing people, after government policy had required allowing the <b>boat</b> to sink. Further evidence revealed instructions from the Minister for Defence that no photos that humanised refugees were to be released to the press. What ultimately transpired was that photos of navy personnel rescuing people were transformed into photos of children thrown overboard. Last week Michael Pezzullo, Australia's Secretary for the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, issued a press release to "separate fact from fiction" and defend his staff from the "unsavoury allegations of advocates", including the terminology to describe detention centres, and linking the department's treatment of refugees to the Nazi regime. As the child of a parent who lived under that regime, warnings about the deliberate use of language to</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">dehumanise refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers is not misplaced. It is only when a person becomes the "other" and their humanity is removed that such atrocities can be carried out. There have been numerous studies into targeted use of language by the Australian government to dehumanise <b>asylum</b> seekers, including "criminalising" them by using terms such as "illegal maritime arrival" instead of the legal terms "irregular maritime arrival", or "unauthorised maritime arrival". Mr Pezullo claims the rhetoric of human rights advocates is harmful to his staff. And it must be hurtful to people who are hardworking and dedicated public servants. But what of a secretary who has such a strong commitment to policy that he refuses to acknowledge the harm those policies cause? His message conflates policies, law and facts. Children in detention in Australia are muddled</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">with children in detention offshore. For example, Mr Pezullo is correct that the Australian Migration Act contains provisions for detaining children as a last resort. It is true that the government and department have substantially cleared the 2013 backlog of children stuck in Australian detention centres. However the Commonwealth has made it clear to the High Court that it is not responsible for the detention of people on Nauru, and the High Court has agreed - it determined in Case M68 that the Commonwealth's power to detain <b>asylum</b> seekers ceases when detainees are handed into the custody of the government of Nauru. The court also determined that the Commonwealth was authorised, through retrospective legislation, to participate in the detention of people on Nauru. It did not condone that participation</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">because that is not the role of the court. Nauru's policies on detention are not Australian law; the claim that "the law of the land" applies to detention of children in regional processing centres is not factual.

Under Australian law,</p>

Oh, those resourceful, kooky nuns.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In reality, the Australian church groups’ training was far less dramatic, or entertaining. According to GetUp!’s <span class="companylink">Twitter</span> feed, tutorials spanned from how to form a human chain through the linking of arms (behind the body is best) and perfecting sit-in techniques.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Other tips given to those wishing to hold their own Stand for Sanctuary event — wait, are they sitting or standing? — include holding a minute’s silence to reflect on <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Attendees at Sunday’s events also heard the lie that the 10-day vigil for Baby Asha organised by a group of <b>refugee</b> activists outside Lady Cilento Hospital in Brisbane was evidence “the majority of Australians” objected to the return of her family, economic refugees from Nepal, to Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On their website, GetUp! calls the measures an “emergency”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Together, we must stand in the government’s way,” they write. “We can’t waste any time. The government is ready to put these vulnerable men, women and kids on planes to hell — and only a huge public mobilisation is going to stop that happening.” The irony of this new partnership is most Christian churches would ordinarily find themselves in the firing line of GetUp! progressives, given their position on trendy inner-city ­issues such as same-sex marriage. Marriage equality is an issue GetUp! campaigns relentlessly on.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Churches, as a general rule, are firmly against gay marriage in favour of the traditional definition of the institution. But what’s a little fundamental disagreement between new bedfellows?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The romance blossomed after 115 church groups across the country made an offer last month to “reinvent” the ancient concept of religious sanctuary and provide what is essentially a hiding place for illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals, to prevent their lawful detention offshore.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Their argument is it’s the “Christian­” thing to do, and it’s not hard to see where this shortsighted compassion comes from, given their beliefs centre on the story of a displaced Mary and Joseph being turned away at the inn and seeking <b>asylum</b> in a barn.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But just how Christian is it to encourage thousands of deaths at sea? Because that is the tragic and inevitable­ outcome of such flagrant flouting of our laws.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As soon as people smugglers get a whiff the government is relaxing its position on <b>boat</b> arrivals, or can argue to their desperate charges that churches and <b>refugee</b> activists will ensure they can be resettled here, the boats and drownings will start again. The fact is the number of <b>boat</b> arrivals in detention have dropped from 10,000 in 2013 to fewer than 800 today.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As for children being kept in detention, the high of 2000 under Labor has now dwindled to 58.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These numbers will continue to fall, as long as we prevent more people boarding leaky boats.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bao Hoang's family escaped Vietnam by <b>boat</b> with nothing but the traditional recipes Hoang has used to create Vietnamese food franchise Rolld.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hoang opened the first Rolld store in Melbourne's city centre in 2012 with his school mate Ray Esquieres and cousin Tin Ly, using savings of $180,000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Serving up rice-paper rolls, pho and banh mi, the store ran out of food within the first hour of opening and, in a few weeks, was serving 1000 people a day.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We didn't make much money, as we didn't know what we were doing, but we understood we needed to get processes in place," Hoang says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hoang's parents and brothers tried to escape Vietnam "a couple of times" and were jailed after one attempt. Eventually, they were successful and made the treacherous journey by <b>boat</b> to Thailand.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They were at sea for nine days and nights with little food and a few people died on the journey," Hoang says. "I don't think they knew where Australia was, to be honest."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the family ended up being settled in Australia in a hostel and Hoang was born here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They couldn't be more thankful to the government," Hoang says. "Mum and Dad worked 18 hours a day, seven days a week, sewing in their garage up until six years ago. They worked very hard for a long, long time. I guess that is where the real strong work ethic comes out in our business."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hoang says Rolld is a "family-centric" business.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Mum and Dad are heavily involved in Rolld and still make a few of our secret recipes," he says. "It is something that has a lot of advantages, but challenges as well".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With his food a hit, Hoang was keen to expand Rolld.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"My background is a physiotherapist, where I was a franchisee," Hoang says. "In the back of my mind, I thought if this works, we will look at franchising."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The co-founders "got some family members involved" and quickly opened three more stores.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"All the stores just fired as well," Hoang says. "That was good and bad. It gave us a bit of a sense of infallibility."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rolld opened another 14 stores within four months, which put the business systems under pressure.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We started to see the gaping holes in terms of experience and just operating nous," Hoang says. "So, we really started to knuckle down. It was a tough time where we continued to grow but brought in a lot of expertise that has helped us take the business to the next level."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hoang says Rolld has benefited from initially investing heavily in creating a brand and driving market awareness.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We have focused very heavily on brand; we haven't focused much on money," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Opening Rolld's first stores in Melbourne let Hoang and his co-founders really test the concept.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Melbourne is one of the toughest markets in the world by far," Hoang says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He says labour costs are high compared with the United States, Britain and Asia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We need to make sure we pay our staff properly, look after our suppliers and our franchisees."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So far, the balance is working, with Rolld recording turnover of $25 million a year, with 31 stores across Victoria, NSW, Western Australia, the ACT and Queensland.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It now employs 435 people, with a growth rate of 769 per cent over the past three years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">About half of Rolld's stores are company-owned and half franchisee-owned, with new franchises priced between $280,000 and $400,000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rolld plans to open another nine stores in Australia and will open its first international store in Manila this year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Are we ready for it? Probably not, but it's a good opportunity for us to go overseas," Hoang says. "From day one, we always said we wanted to be a globally recognised business".</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At this year’s Melbourne Comedy Festival, I’ll be performing Boundless Plains To Share – a humorous lecture on Australia’s treatment of refugees.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The issue of what to do with desperate people who arrive on our shores on leaky boats has plagued Australian politics for more than four decades.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In January 1969, eight West Papuans – later dubbed ‘‘raft men’’ – fled the Indonesian occupation of West Irian and set out for sanctuary.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A month later they landed at Moa Island in the Torres Strait.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The group’s leader, Alexander Toembay, declared: ‘‘I hope that Australian people give us political protection and allow us to live in peace.’’ We didn’t. We whacked them on a plane to New Guinea and their claims for political <b>asylum</b> were quickly processed and denied. All eight were returned to West Irian, to the very government they were running from.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the same time we were dumping border-crossing West Papuan refugees in a poorly resourced camp on a delightful little getaway named Manus Island. There the refugees held little hope of gaining employment or education and they become depressed and unmotivated and called their new home ‘‘Devil’s Island’’. Good thing we learnt our lesson there, then.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Here are a few of the more remarkable fact-nuggets that I’ve come across over the past few months.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since the first wave of ‘‘<b>boat</b> people’’ rocked up in Darwin Harbour in 1976, Australia’s population has increased by more than 10 million people. How many of those people were refugees arriving by sea?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Less than 70,000. Our annual humanitarian intake of around 20,000 people really ain’t that generous when placed in a historical context: in 1949, when the global <b>refugee</b> population was at 60 million (as it is today), Australia gave refuge to almost 75,000 people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yes, there are heaps of refugees out there in the world, but only a tiny number of them are coming to us on boats and we can easily accommodate more of them. ‘‘We Can’t Help Everyone’’ has somehow mutated into ‘‘We Won’t Help Anyone’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The only countries between the Middle East and Australia that are signatories to the UN Convention on the Status of Refugees are Afghanistan and Iran (not ideal if they’re the countries you’re fleeing from), China (always in the market for new people!), Cambodia and East Timor (countries with plenty of their own shit to deal with) and Nauru (*cough*).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why can’t all the pesky <b>boat</b> people just ‘‘wait in the queue’’? Mainly because they’re not immortal. The <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> only resettles about 73,000 people each year, worldwide. In Syria, about 42,000 people are displaced every day. So jumping on the end of that queue could mean a wait time of around 64 years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Indonesia the wait is slightly shorter, but with more than 13,000 people sitting there scratching their noses and just 300 people being resettled each year, you’re still looking at something like a wait of about 40 years with no work rights or schools to send your kids to. I think it’s fair to say that that would, at the very least, get a bit tedious.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of course, we never jump queues here in Australia – except when we use MenuLog or Beat The Q or illegally park or speed or minimise our tax or buy scalped tickets or use the special line for airport security even when we’re not even close to being gold frequent flyers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the 1950s we believed that Nauru had been ruined so badly as a result of phosphate mining that we considered resettling the entire population of the tiny island nation in Australia. Fraser Island and Curtis Island in Queensland were offered up as potential locations, but the Nauruans chose to stay and gain their independence and then spent a bunch of their money funding Leonardo the Musical: A Portrait Of Love, which is widely considered to be one of the biggest flops in West End musical history.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If you listen to some folks, you’d get the impression refugees are nothing but marauding terrorists hell-bent on visiting thievery and <span class="companylink">Centrelink</span> fraud upon our peaceful society. That’s bollocks. People seeking <b>asylum</b> who are living in our communities are 45 times less likely to commit crimes than the local population. Much of white Australia is descended from dodgy, bread-stealing Cockney convicts – perhaps refugees should be locking us up? In fact, someone seeking <b>asylum</b> is 24 times less likely to commit a crime than a federal politician.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hello? ‘‘Delicious irony’’ for Table One?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Realities such as these are the antidote to our cancerous fears.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They must be calmly administered to the public debate and help us reevaluate and re-engage with this dilemma as a humanitarian issue, not a national security crisis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My reading brought me to a theory known as ‘‘panspermia’’: the notion that life could have actually been seeded on Earth when asteroids crashed here, bringing almost indestructible tiny organisms (known as ‘‘tardigrades’’) to our planet’s surface. So forget about ‘‘Australian’’ and ‘‘<b>boat</b> people’’ and ‘‘illegal immigrants’’ – perhaps we’re all fundamentally ‘‘asteroid people’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Perhaps we’ve all journeyed billions of light years across the galaxy in the name of survival, only to invade this blue dot here and naively conjure up some foolish notion of sovereignty over our pathetic little patch of billion-year-old rock?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I don’t know. All I know is that no matter who you are or where you come from, you’re more than welcome at my show. Less so if you’re concession.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A <b>refugee</b> who agreed to resettle from Nauru to Cambodia under a controversial $55 million Australian scheme says he feels abandoned and fears he will die in the impoverished country.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘‘I feel unwell, lonely and sad,’’ Mohammed Roshid, a 26-year-old Rohingya Muslim, told The Sun-Herald while lying on the floor of a decrepit house in a Phnom Penh suburb.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘‘I fear that I will die here.’’ Australia sent Mr Roshid to Cambodia, a country with one of the world’s poorest medical services, despite having a long history of illness, including being flown from Nauru to Brisbane for weeks-long hospital treatment in 2014.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In an exclusive interview Mr Roshid said three months after arriving in Cambodia his relationship with the <span class="companylink">International Organisation for Migration</span> (<span class="companylink">IOM</span>), the agency Australia paid $15 million to take care of refugees arriving from Nauru, is strained.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Only two of five refugees who accepted offers of money and training to go to Cambodia remain in the country, as the agreement sealed with champagne toasts in 2014 has collapsed in a political headache for Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Roshid said key promises made by Australian officials to convince him to give up hope of reaching mainland Australia remain unfulfilled, including offers of help setting up a restaurant, housing accommodation and an $US8000 ($10,000) cash payment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He sleeps alone upstairs in an <span class="companylink">IOM</span> office despite Australia paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to rent a luxury villa in a Phnom Penh suburb for three years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Roshid said he has so far received $US4000 of the promised payment but that almost $US2000 of that was stolen from him by a crooked motorcycle dealer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said he feels discriminated against as a Rohingya Muslim in the Buddhist-majority nation. ‘‘When I was robbed I went to a government department to complain but they told me they couldn’t help me,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Roshid said he has been issued with a <b>refugee</b> identification card by Cambodian authorities but that it does not carry enough weight to allow him to buy a telephone SIM card. In a blow to efforts by Australia to convince more refugees to resettle in Cambodia, Mr Roshid said he told friends in Nauru who called him that they should not believe what Australian officials said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australian officials in Nauru have conducted intense propaganda campaigns portraying Cambodia as a developing nation utopia with no violent crime, few dogs, mosques, jobs, football and martial arts, sparking fierce criticism from Cambodia’s opposition MPs and human rights and <b>refugee</b> advocates.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton referred questions to Australian Border Force who did not respond in time for deadline. Earlier this week he defended the Cambodia deal, saying it was part of the government’s success in stopping the boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘‘The fact that we’ve had no drownings at sea, no successful <b>boat</b> arrivals, I think is a pretty significant outcome," he told Sydney radio.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said under the $55 million deal, $40 million was aid money and $15 million related to resettlement costs – of which only $2 million had been spent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Roshid, who left Indonesia in a people smuggler’s <b>boat</b>, said he suffered severe lung and kidney problems and asthma after he arrived in Nauru from Christmas Island in 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said his health has been deteriorating over the past two years and that last week he fell ill and tried to reach five <span class="companylink">IOM</span> officials by telephone, but none immediately answered.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘‘I was crying. I felt I was left on my own,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mohammed Yusuf, a Rohingya friend who has lived in Cambodia for eight years, said he took Mr Roshid to a hospital where a doctor recommended keeping him in a ward for up to 10 days.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘‘The doctor came and told me an <span class="companylink">IOM</span> man told that staying in hospital three days was enough and that Roshid had to return to the <span class="companylink">IOM</span> office,’’ Mr Yusuf said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Yusuf was caring for Mr Roshid at home when The Sun- Herald arrived.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">IOM</span> paid the $US460 hospital bill.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Joe Lowry, an IOM spokesman, said the organisation could not reply to specific questions about Mr Roshid, citing confidentiality.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said qualified <span class="companylink">IOM</span> professionals were in daily contact with the refugees, including on an emergency basis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Roshid said that in Nauru <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees could receive quick medical treatment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘‘If I am going to die I should have stayed in Nauru and died there,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Daniel Eskandari, an Iranian in his early 20s, has also remained unemployed since he arrived in Phnom Penh from Nauru in June last year in the first group of four refugees, <b>refugee</b> sources say. He has also complained about broken Australian promises, along with three other refugees who have returned home to Iran and Myanmar.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Officials on Nauru convinced Mr Eskandari to take a one-way ticket to Cambodia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘‘Daniel and four other refugees from Nauru saw Cambodia as a stepping stone to somewhere else,’’ Ian Rintoul, of the <b>Refugee</b> Action Coalition, said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘‘They all made it very clear that when they were going to Cambodia it wasn’t with any intention of remaining there, it was to get away from Nauru, and to have a greater prospect of actually getting somewhere where they could get secure resettlement.’’ Within hours of the approval of his application, Mr Eskandari was being chaperoned in a military style operation to one of Asia’s poorest nations. But life in Cambodia quickly turned out to be a bitter disappointment. Mr Rintoul said in their first months in Cambodia the refugees were kept pretty much housebound in the rented villa.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘‘They were isolated, weren’t given the lump-sum payment they were promised and were encouraged not to interact with community groups,’’ he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian government threw extensive diplomatic resources into getting the first group to Cambodia, including posting an additional 10 people to the Australian embassy in Phnom Penh. But the agreement was widely condemned, including by the <span class="companylink">UN <b>refugee</b> agency</span> <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span>, which said refugees deserved better than being shipped from one country to the next.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Phil Robertson, deputy director of Human Rights Watch’s Asia division, said Cambodia’s strongman Hun Sen, whose corrupt regime received an additional $50 million in aid for signing the agreement, is ‘‘laughing all the way to the bank’’ while the Australian government has been forced to go further afield, to places like Kazakhstan, to try to make similar deals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘‘It was a classic Phnom Penh sting job on a donor, get the money upfront but don’t concede the operational control over the project – and then stall or obfuscate until you get the outcome you want, which in this case was only a handful of refugees,’’ Mr Robertson said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Kerm Sarin, director of the Cambodian government’s <b>refugee</b> department, said last week there are no more refugees on Nauru seeking to resettle in Cambodia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">‘‘We are doing a humanitarian program, so whether it’s successful or unsuccessful, it doesn’t matter, as long as we have implemented the MoU [agreement with Australia],’’ he told the Phnom Penh Post.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Wiping his forehead with wet tissue, Mr Roshid said he didn’t know what his future held. ‘‘All sorts of things are going around in my head like I am a crazy person . . . I don’t feel safe,’’ he said. ‘‘It was a big mistake to come here.’’</p>

Ahead of a visit by the nation's foreign minister next week, ambassador Abdolhossein Vahaji said Iran had no intention of accepting back its citizens returned forcibly after their <b>asylum</b> applications had been rejected.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His comments follow a report in The West Australian newspaper this week that said talks on the long-running point of contention between the two countries were well-advanced and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop was hopeful of a deal next week.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked whether there was any chance of a deal on returning people involuntarily, Mr Vahaji said: "No agreement. No improvement in that regard." He branded as "propaganda" suggestions that people should be sent back, saying it was their right to stay.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It's their decision, it's not my decision," he said. "If they want to stay under any circumstances, why should I bother them? Let them stay anywhere they want."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said Iran was hosting 3 million Afghan refugees and Australia should accept like other countries that it simply has to take more <b>asylum</b>-seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Your country [is] in a position that you have to accept <b>asylum</b> seekers," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Bishop's spokeswoman said on Wednesday after The West Australian report that dealing with the "legacy caseload" of people who arrived by <b>boat</b> was a priority for the government. But she played down the prospect of any quick deal, saying only that "officials-levels talks are ongoing".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Bishop has keenly sought improved relations with the Middle Eastern powerhouse as it opens up to the world in the wake of the nuclear deal that has spelled the end of many economic sanctions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Tehran's refusal to accept the forced return of about 9000 Iranians who are living in limbo, mostly in the community, after their <b>asylum</b> claims were rejected has been a thorny point of frustration for years. Iran will only take back people who go voluntarily and if they can prove they are Iranian.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Vahaji used unusually blunt diplomatic language to attack Australia's immigration policies just days ahead of the visit by Javad Zarif, the first visit by an Iranian foreign minister in 15 years. He suggested that Australia should scrap programs such as the $55 million Cambodia deal, which has resettled just five refugees, and redirect the money to paying <b>asylum</b> seekers to return home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Why don't you spend the money for them to go back ... One of the encouragements for those who are willing to go back is to tell them for instance this much money we can give to you ... I'm sure many of them of them are going to accept that." Mr Zarif's visit is a reciprocal trip following Ms Bishop's visit to Iraq last year, in which she signed a deal to share intelligence with Tehran on common security threats such as <span class="companylink">Islamic State</span> group.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 1979 Iranian Revolution that ended the rule of the pro-Western Shah was the start of a long period of hostility, during which Iran denounced the US as the Great Satan and former US president George W.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under a separate agreement reached with major powers last year, Iran will reduce its uranium stockpiles and scale back its nuclear facilities, in return for the lifting of economic and financial sanctions.

It left almost 9000 Iranian <b>asylum</b> seekers in limbo. While about 400 are in detention on Nauru and Manus Island, the rest are on the mainland, mostly living in the community.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The former Labor government said that the Iranian <b>boat</b> arrivals were “economic migrants” who were “overwhelmingly” middle class and from majority ethnic and religious groups.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under the repatriation agreement, Australia would demand guarantees from Iran that returnees would not be persecuted or punished.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a report published in the Australasian Psychiatry journal last month, psychiatrist Michael Dudley concluded that extended immigration detention caused <b>asylum</b>-seekers “undeniable, well-publicised harms and (notwithstanding claims about preventing drownings) show reckless indifference and calculated cruelty”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Such policies misuse helping professionals to underwrite state abuses and promote public numbing and indifference, resembling other state abuses in the ‘war on terror’ and (with qualification) historical counterparts, e.g. Nazi Germany,” an abstract of the report states.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Pezzullo encouraged a debate on policy but warned there should be “no place for falsehood, rumour and unfounded speculation”, because people-smugglers would seize any “mistruth” to convince <b>asylum</b>-seekers to pay them to go to Australia.“Any contention that prolonged immigration detention represents ‘reckless indifference and calculated cruelty’, in order to deter future <b>boat</b> arrivals, do not pass even the most basic fact check,” he said.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">IF THERE’S a sudden spike in children being harmed in offshore detention centres, or leaky boats making their way to our shores, Annastacia Palaszczuk will have some serious soul-searching to do.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Whether she cares to admit it or not, the Premier played a key role in the baby Asha fiasco, effectively strengthening the resolve of doctors and activists who turned the 12-month-old into a political plaything.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The child of economic refugees from Nepal, baby “Asha” – a pseudonym given to the child to protect the family’s identity – was transferred from Nauru to Brisbane’s Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital for treatment for burns caused when she was said to have pulled a bowl of boiling water on to herself.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This wasn’t the first time Asha made headlines, activists also protesting when she was just five months old and became the first baby born in detention in Australia to be transferred to Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Back then, they waved balloons and created the hashtag “#BringBackAsha”. Well, eight months later, the advocates got what they wished for and couldn’t have been more thrilled.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For 10 days, they picketed the hospital as doctors refused to discharge her, keeping Asha almost twice as long as a patient with similar injuries could ordinarily expect to be admitted. She was treated in a specialised burns unit not usually used to care for a patient with the degree of superficial burns sustained by the infant.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Doubts were later raised over the circumstances surrounding her injury, with a security guard on Nauru claiming to overhear Asha’s mother saying the girl had been deliberately hurt in order for the family to gain entry to Australia following more than a year in detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her mother denies admitting this and an investigation into the claims has now been finalised, although the findings haven’t been released publicly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All the while, Palaszczuk supported the doctors in their decision to hold Asha, saying at the time: “Let me make it very clear: doctors make clinical decisions, ministers do not interfere in clinical decisions of doctors. We respect the doctors.” Three weeks prior, she wrote to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull personally offering to put up 267 refugees affected by the High Court ruling upholding the legality of offshore detention – including Asha and her family – in Queensland.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And back when former prime minister Tony Abbott committed to a one-off 12,000-intake of Syrian refugees, she proposed the Sunshine State as a future home to almost a third of those.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Eventually, Asha was released from the hospital into community detention in Brisbane, with the Government vowing to return her and her parents to Nauru as soon as possible.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The whole debacle, however, may well have serious, long-term ramifications. Immigration Minister Peter Dutton cited intelligence reports that suggest Indonesian people smugglers have been reinvigorated by the handling of the case, pointing specifically to Palaszczuk’s comments.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I can tell you that intelligence out of Indonesia recently was that people smugglers were reporting the comments of Premiers, including Palaszczuk… to say that there was going to be a change in the policy,” Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“People had prepaid deposits and all sorts of things to get on boats. We know there are about 14,000 people in Indonesia today who would get on boats tomorrow.” Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg questioned whether the hospital had been emboldened by the Queensland Government to take up political activism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Palaszczuk’s response to these claims is to accuse her critics of “playing politics” and “muck raking”, swearing she too doesn’t want to see people smugglers risking <b>refugee</b> lives and deaths at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To my mind, her behaviour in Asha’s case says the exact opposite. The worst outcome would be to see a return to the Rudd-Gillard era, in which 50,000 desperate people attempted to reach Australia by <b>boat</b>, with more than 1000 dying in the process.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We only have to look to Europe to see how destructive an open borders policy can be, with nations such as Germany now straining under the economic pressures of accommodating the almost 1.1 million people seeking <b>asylum</b>. Just consider Cologne, the West German city which suffered a spate of sexual assaults and robberies during New Year’s celebrations, most suspects later identified as refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One happy ending to the Asha story is that medical facilities on Nauru are set to be significantly improved, including an upgrade to the obstetrics department, meaning there should be no reason most pregnant <b>refugee</b> women would have to travel to Australia to give birth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Still, it pays to keep perspective when discussing the apparent shortfalls of the health system there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With a population of just 11,000, Nauru’s hospital has more on-site services than hospitals in Warwick, Kingaroy and Dalby – towns with populations of similar sizes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile, Lady Cilento continues to suffer from a range of problems, including a shortage of on-site parking leading the parents of sick Australian children struggling to make their appointments.Caroline Marcus is a journalist with A Current Affair.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nabi Baqiri is paying for a tractor part and chainsaw to use in his Shepparton orchard. The former <b>refugee</b> hands over a cheque and asks the sales assistant to fill in the date and transaction amount.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I don't know how to write," he explains.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Don't joke with me. I don't have time," the sales assistant replies, coolly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Baqiri persists: "No really, I don't know how to write."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Australia grapples with the morality of offshore detention of <b>asylum</b> seekers and wrestles with fears of being overwhelmed by needy refugees, this is the story of how an illiterate boy ended up as a fruit-picking millionaire.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's the start of the harvest season and Kaarimba orchard, north of Melbourne, hums to the sound of heavy machinery.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A fleet of cherry pickers and tractors is parked at reception and beyond that, a seemingly infinite criss-cross of vegetation. At 182 hectares, the property is big, even by Goulburn Valley standards. But Kaarimba is known less for its size than the identity of its co-owner, Nabi Baqiri, a former Nauru detainee from Afghanistan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The manager warns me against looking for Baqiri: "Too many hiding spots," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But I drive along the unsealed roads nonetheless, until I see Baqiri's ute parked beside the cherry orchard.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He is a few metres away, ensconced in a row of trees. Fortyish, slight, moustachioed and dressed in a heavy cotton shirt and polar tech vest, Baqiri is indistinguishable from the other pickers and absorbed in the same labours.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Reaching into a thicket, he pulls out bunches of ruby-red cherries and places them in a plastic bucket. Before buying Kaarimba, valued at $10 million, Baqiri earned a living as a fruit picker. And on occasion, he reverts to his earlier occupation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Picking is an old habit," he says. Later, Baqiri, back into boss-mode, roves the orchard, slipping effortlessly between Hazaragi, his mother tongue, and English as he guides the pickers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When a tractor towing three wooden pallets of cherries pulls up, Baqiri paws the fruit. "Fantastic," he gushes. "No one can do better than that."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During the harvest, Kaarimba employs 40 staff and it's Baqiri's job to manage them and oversee operations. He leaves marketing to co-owner Gerard Alampi. Such responsibilities are beyond his comfort level; Baqiri is illiterate, having never learnt to read or write in English or Hazaragi.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Baqiri was born in Saibaghal, a village populated by the Hazara ethnic minority, in the central province of Uruzgan. When he maps out his past, it's by the risks he took. He was acquainted with the people-smuggling trade long before he arranged passage to Christmas Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Insubordination, he believes, was inherent to his nature. He truanted his way through primary school and improvised when his parents asked him to read aloud, safe in the knowledge that they were no more literate than he was.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Aged 13, Baqiri took off with his elder brother, Jamshed, in search of work in Iran.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The boys walked for two days to Ghazni then crossed the Pakistan border by tractor with a people smuggler. When they arrived in the frontier city of Quetta late at night, Baqiri pointed to a street light. "What's that?" he asked.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Electricity," his brother Jamshed replied. The boys attempted to cross the Iranian frontier unaccompanied, but turned back when they realised it was patrolled. They tried a second time, with a people smuggler, and were captured, beaten, imprisoned and returned to Pakistan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On their third go, they made it. For the next 15 years, Baqiri travelled between Iran and Pakistan, before finally settling in Quetta. In the garment business, he made $300,000 in four years, but saw no future in Pakistan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Living on false documents, he was not entitled to own property and most of his travel was in the company of people smugglers. When his neighbour was executed, Baqiri made arrangements to travel to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Even if I made a billion dollars, I couldn't have lived well," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In early 2001, Baqiri flew, with his wife and four children, to Indonesia. He applied for <b>refugee</b> status with the <span class="companylink">United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees</span> and was granted it, but when a <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> official urged him to wait to be resettled, he ignored the counsel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He had put his faith in a people smuggler, who promised that the voyage to Christmas Island would take 12 hours on a <b>boat</b> equipped with a navigation system. Contrary to the pledge, the family spent 11 days at sea on a crude wooden fishing <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The voyage still gives Baqiri nightmares. In Australian waters, the vessel burst into flames. Two people died in the disaster and two of his children lost consciousness in the water.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Nauru, Baqiri lived under a haze of antidepressants. He took to sleeping through the morning and playing cards until late at night.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He joined other men in a hunger strike and held out for 27 days before losing consciousness. Baqiri was angry at himself for putting his family at risk and dwelled on a scenario in which he had heeded the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> warning and lived freely in Indonesia on savings.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Such a fate would have been preferable to the purgatory of not knowing if or when he'd ever be released. One afternoon, during his third year on Nauru, a guard called out his number - 83 - and Baqiri was told that he and his family would fly to Australia at 11am the following day.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The euphoria of freedom only hit him a week later, grocery shopping with his wife in Dandenong. "There was such happiness in doing something as simple as buying food," Baqiri says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ensuing years were consumed by hard work. When Baqiri couldn't find a job in Melbourne, he settled in Shepparton, where there was plenty of work in the orchards. He worked double shifts, relying on over-the-counter painkillers to ease his backache.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He had set his sights on a house and a family holiday. In 2009, Baqiri gave up manual labour to start a business contracting orchard workers. His service attracted Gerard Alampi, who was looking for a co-investor for Kaarimba.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Alampi, who owned a packing shed and five other orchards, knew the challenges of sourcing labour and felt that Baqiri could help out. "He always had good staff. A lot of people like working for him. If you did the right thing you'd be rewarded," Alampi said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Alampi, 32, first met Baqiri in mid-2013. There was something about his would-be business partner that reminded Alampi of his late father, Sam Alampi.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"My father was a gentleman. Everyone liked him. He was good to do business with. He had good vision and was polite and respected people. Nabi was like that ... quite gentle and a great businessman."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Like Baqiri, Sam Alampi had been an immigrant. Having settled from Sicily in the 1960s, he spoke only basic English and could neither read nor write in the language.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Baqiri and Alampi picked an inopportune time to invest. SPC was in penury and farmers in the Goulburn Valley resorted to setting fire to trees laden with rotten fruit.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When applying for a loan, Alampi argued that Kaarimba would grow fresh produce unsuitable for canning. But the banks denied the application and the business partners were forced to borrow from a high-interest bridging financier. They paid $1500 per day to service the loan, until a bank finally agreed to finance Kaarimba - five months after purchase.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Recalling his reversal of fortunes, Baqiri is not above smugness.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"In my life, we do a lot of risks. We play for our lives ... [With Kaarimba] I take this risk and finally I win the game."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Baqiri's home, on a new Shepparton housing estate, is sparsely furnished, with patterned rugs underfoot.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When I visit him mid-morning, a Hindi movie plays at low volume on the television. Baqiri's 17-year-old daughter, Rezwana, mills around the house in a monochrome salwar suit and headscarf. She has just completed year 12 and a season playing soccer for Shepparton United.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rezwana tells of how, growing up, her father would assemble the children in the lounge room and watch over them for 90 minutes as they studied.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Baqiri listens to the description of his homework sessions, then adds: "I told them, 'You study well and find a good job. If not, you'll have to work in the sun, from early morning'."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The only time he ever smacked Rezwana, he says, was when he found out she was repeatedly misspelling the same words.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I hid in a cupboard," Rezwana says, without rancour. She understood her father's motives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"He wants to be a role model, to show that he got from somewhere really bad to being successful. He's pushing, showing us we have these opportunities being here."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Baqiri no longer watches his children study and says he's lightened up in other ways.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When he first settled in Australia, the despondency that set in on Nauru lingered and he was, at times, harsh. But seeing his business and family thrive has mellowed him. Of the six Baqiri children, (additions to the family arrived in Nauru and Shepparton) three are of post-school age.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rezwana hopes to study psychology. One of her elder sisters graduated in international studies. Another is a nursing student.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Looking back at his journey to Christmas Island, Baqiri still reproaches himself.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He regrets exposing his family to danger at sea and mismanaging applications for <b>asylum</b>. En route to Christmas Island, he threw the family passports and <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> cards into the sea. With hindsight, it was a reckless measure. But at the time, he followed instinct. Baqiri had spent decades in Iran and Pakistan evading officialdom. It was a relief to leave behind a life of obfuscation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The day he received his Australian Business Number, a bona fide recognition of his contracting company, was a joyous one. As for the holiday, Baqiri achieved that objective in 2007, when he loaded his family into the car and drove to Sydney.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the trip, he turned to his wife and said randomly: "We got here without a people smuggler." Then he thought to himself: "Now I am a free man."</p>

No demands by politicians – to politicians – for them to “have a heart” for the family who paid people smugglers to get them to Australia. Now, facing deportation for the second time in her short life, something has captured the attention of centrist Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What changed? The answer is doctors and politics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The circumstances of Asha’s plight gained momentum when Brisbane medicos in mid-February refused to release her from hospital over fears she would be returned to Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They said Asha would only be discharged once a suitable home environment was identified – in other words, not Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was clear there was a looming conflict between the Turnbull Government and doctors.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asha’s plight became a lightening rod for the debate about <b>asylum</b> seekers and Australia’s “harsh” border protection policies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A rent-a-crowd of greenies, refugees and bleeding hearts railed against the heartless, holding up photographs of <b>refugee</b> babies outside the hospital.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it also gave parents, usually not engaged with the debate, pause to ask themselves: “What if that was my child?” The mummy o’clock TV and radio programs questioned whether the Government was being overtly cruel. It prompted a 10-day vigil outside the hospital and strangers were united by a #LetThemStay campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fuelled by public opinion and what the “voters were talking about”, it became intensely political. Labor premiers lobbed political grenades at Immigration Minister Peter Dutton.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Government’s attack dog bit back, accusing them of sending welcoming signals to people smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">Facebook</span> pages were set up to keep Asha in Australia. Others demanded she leave. The frenzy was also fed by the family advocate, former <span class="companylink">Save the Children</span> staff member Natasha Blucher, the Queensland Nurses Union, and the independent, non-profit, Human Rights Law Centre, which has seized on the community sentiment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The HRLC’s director of legal advocacy Daniel Webb said “we cannot sit back and do nothing while our Government tries to rip a baby from her hospital bed and send her to languish in a tent”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A week before those statements, those facing one of the most harrowing jobs in Australia were providing evidence to a the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Budget hearing in Canberra.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the hearings there were admissions from the Immigration Department’s own chief medical officer that detaining children was bad for their mental health.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was also clear that while people smugglers have lost the ability to get boats to Australia, they are waiting to see if policies change, waiting to herd more doomed passengers on a dangerous voyage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But mostly, the desperate remain desperate. Is it a relief for some parents when their children get sick? Does it become a means for some to gain a foothold on the Australian mainland?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under Labor’s policies, about 8000 children were in detention. Now, under the Coalition’s ruthlessly effective <b>boat</b> turn-back policy and offshore processing, there are fewer than 80.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked indirectly at the inquiry if some <b>asylum</b>-seeking parents in offshore detention might try to game the system if their child was sick or injured, Immigration Department Secretary Mike Pezzullo chose his words carefully.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Yielding to emotional gestures in this area of public administration reduces the margin for discretionary action, which is able to be employed by those who are actually charged with dealing with the problem,” Pezzullo said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked more directly whether some <b>asylum</b> seekers had tried to find a way to leave regional processing centres to get to Australia, Pezzullo was diplomatic.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Everyone’s motivation is different and it is hard to get down to what is in someone’s psychological state of mind,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But logically, if one person is sick but you have several family members … you potentially do have a circumstance arise where perverse outcomes can manifest – whereby people think: ‘It’s regrettable that Johnny has got sick but we are all going to Australia’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“As a parent myself, I know you can be beside yourself and you want to do whatever you can to get the situation remedied.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But when other members of the family have to come along as well and then they are joined into legal proceedings (to try to stay in Australia) you would have a little suspicion that is it possible, only possible ... that some people might see that as an opportunity to also advance the possibility of securing a migration outcome.” The Brisbane doctors who refused to release Asha, have given people smugglers an insight into what some may say is a weak spot in Australia’s tough border protection laws.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sydney Law School’s Professor Cameron Stewart, an associate of the Centre for Values, Ethics and the Law, says the doctors did nothing wrong – even if they kept Asha in hospital longer than clinically needed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Stewart says doctors had to keep their patients’ best interest in mind and it was evident keeping children in detention is harmful to their mental health.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But some federal and state MPs view it differently.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg questioned whether the hospital had crossed the line because they knew they had the support of the State Government, though Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk denied government interference.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This (may) have gone beyond the role of a hospital and into the area of <b>asylum</b> seeker policy,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Internal hospital documents revealed Asha’s injuries would have been painful but not serious, not requiring her to remain in hospital for almost a month.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The head of the hospital’s burns centre Roy Kimble’s leaked an undated report said: “(Baby Asha) is a 12-month-old girl who was transferred to the LCCH from Nauru detention centre on (Australia Day) for assessment and management of a burn that was sustained 24 hours prior.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The injury occurred when (Asha) pulled a bowl containing boiled water off a table on to herself. Asha lives in a tent with no kitchen facilities except for a kettle Asha’s mother boils or the water she consumes to ensure it is safe for drinking.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Appropriate first-aid was performed at the time of the injury. “Asha has a 3 per cent body surface area burn on her chest which is of superficial, partial thickness.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is no clinical evidence the injury was non-accidental. “The burn will require dressing changes and monitoring. She is expected to remain at LCH for the duration of her treatment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Treatment is anticipated to continue for up to two weeks.” <span class="companylink">Queensland Health</span> says Asha had been treated like any other patients. However, one former Queensland Health director-general says that seems a dubious claim, because many patients are sent home even if there are fears the patient may be at risk of further injury or harm.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We are not a hotel,” the source says. “Tough decisions are made every day.” It was revealed this week police had questioned Asha’s mother over allegations she had told a guard the girl had been hurt on purpose.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The mother denied she made the statements and police did not lay any charges, sending details to the Nauruan Government, which will decide whether Asha and her family – who are believed to be economic refugees – will return to Nepal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asha’s advocates claimed the allegations were a “low-blow” after Asha and her family were ­allowed to move to community detention – a unit in Brisbane – rather than being immediately ­returned to Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Advocates say that was a win for people power. But there will be no winners. Asha and her parents will ultimately be returned to Nauru. When they go depends only on the legal system, as speculation mounts a law firm will directly appeal to the courts to allow her and her family to stay.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music just keeps pushing the buttons that help us connect to a story about family, love and identity, writes Gillian Cumming</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Talk about shows like The Sound of Music and the word ‘’classic’’ always slips in. The story of a free-spirited novice nun-turned-governess who changes for the better the lives of a brood of children and their widowed naval captain father, by introducing them to music – a powerful tool that’s key to their escape from the Nazis as the family crosses the mountains from Austria in search of <b>asylum</b>.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rodgers and Hammerstein based their 1959 hit stage musical on the true story of the von Trapp family, who did indeed seek refuge from Nazi persecution prior to the onset of World War II. If you haven’t seen the stage version you’ve almost certainly seen the 1965 film of the same name, another “classic’’, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s a classic ... and it’s as relevant and pertinent today as it was back then,’’ says Marina Prior, who plays Baroness Schraeder, who attempts but fails to win Captain von Trapp’s heart in the latest staging of the musical, opening next month at QPAC.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The themes are so life-­affirming and perennial and the music is glorious. There’s a good reason it’s an iconic show.’’ Cameron Daddo, who plays the Edelweiss-singing Capt Georg von Trapp, says the tale of a family seeking <b>asylum</b> from persecution is “as relevant today as it has ever been’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Pick up the newspaper. There are refugees trying to get out of Syria and being blocked at borders. Is not this (show) part of this? A family unit, a man gathering his most prized possessions – his children and wife. Staying together and going to where they can flourish.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The biggest applause at the end of this show is when me and Amy Lehpamer (who plays Maria) stand with the children – and we take our bow. My feeling is it’s because the audience is celebrating this family unit after being taken on a journey for two-and-a-half hours that started with suppression and repression of spirit – and then love blossoms in front of us.’’ For Amy Lehpamer, who plays the exuberant postulate Maria, sent from Nonnberg Abbey to be governess to the seven von Trapp children, The Sound of Music has been part of her life for as long as she can remember.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I don’t recall a time when The Sound of Music was not around,’’ says the 30-year-old star who traded a classical violin career to sing and tread the boards, with roles in shows such as Rock of Ages, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Once.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I always had the film going on telly. I knew the songs pretty well.’’ Lehpamer also recognised, from a young age, the theme of family displacement. Her parents came to Australia from Europe as children with their parents and lived in migrant camps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My family is Croatian and during the early ’90s, when I was little, the whole Bosnian-Serbian Croatian war was going on, so I think I just had a natural awareness of what war meant. In my family history, I see that sacrifice. My parents were forced to start afresh. I guess I’ve always taken it for granted that I had that narrative in my blood. So, on some level, this show just makes sense to me.’’ Still, like any child, Lehpamer fondly remembers The Sound of Music for the cheekiness of the nuns, falling in love with Maria, the children, the songs ...</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was very musical as a kid, always singing, performing, playing dress-ups,’’ she says. “I was always wanting attention.’’ Music was a family affair, with Lehpamer’s father running the church choir and playing guitar. “He always had a song going at home,’’ recalls Lehpamer. “Mum used to have us tell stories to each other and she’d record them on tape and wrote storybooks.’’ A stage career all makes sense to Lehpamer, who says she used to “swish her hair about and perform’’ when playing violin.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From Geelong, Lehpamer auditioned for WAPA, but didn’t get in, so took a gap year in the UK, then returned to Australia to start a commerce/arts degree at Melbourne University.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I dropped the commerce after about five minutes, then took up a diploma of music then dropped that too. It was too heady and the classical music world is intense. You really have to have a full-blown attitude, practising constantly, and your world has to be in that sphere, but I was very distracted.’’ One of those distractions was a role in a musical at Melbourne Uni and Lehpamer recalls her violin teacher telling her one day: “You have to choose. It’s not a privilege to be good at many things. You have to choose.’’ She says: “I found that really horrible at the time.’’ Sydney reviews of Lehpamer’s portrayal of Maria have been glowing, complimenting her ownership of the role, immortalised by Andrews on the big screen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The film was a big influence. Julie Andrews is a terrific storyteller, the story is beautiful, the songs incredible and the form of the show so clever – the way the audience are learning the music along with the children. That’s what I loved. That Maria teaches that to the kids “Rediscovering this, it was very much about me finding what it meant to be this young woman who doesn’t have a lot of experience in life but she loves life. And she definitely has a lot of joy – and faith in herself. She is a girl who climbs a tree and scrapes her knee.’’ Daddo says to prepare for the role of Capt von Trapp he read an account of the decorated U-<b>Boat</b> captain’s life, dog-earing passages where personal insights were revealed. Daddo was enthralled. He also reflected on what wasn’t said and how the captain might well have suffered the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder – “The weight that goes with killing and being injured’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I find (the book) more interesting now that we are deep into the run. There is more relevancy as opposed to reading it 12 months before I began the show.’’ So who is Georg von Trapp? A patriot. A war veteran. A widower in mourning who rules his family with military precision. Whose heart is reawakened through music.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The account took me to the moment where he lowered the flag of the Austrian-Hungarian navy on his U-<b>Boat</b> for the last time. And, he says, in that moment part of him died that day.’’ There’s no doubt that Daddo, 50, has found The Sound of Music a profound journey. He’s also just enjoying being back on stage in Australia – in 2012-2013 he played caddish Prof Callahan in Legally Blonde – and a nostalgia for home and family is likely to see the LA-based star of TV’s Models Inc and F/X soon return permanently to Oz with his wife Alison Brahe and their three children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Daddo’s dulcet tones can already be heard on SmoothFM digital radio on weeknights and Sunday mornings. Based in LA since 1992, he’s most recently starred in a production of Holding the Man and, out of left-field, he’s also tried his hand at a timber furniture business.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There was never a plan to do all these different things, I’m just lucky. I’m really fortunate that I can throw my hand in to do a lot of different things – in the entertainment business, in the building world or running a business making dining tables in LA,’’ Daddo tells Canvas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">None of this is extraordinary for the Daddo clan, however, as Cameron says he and brothers Andrew, Lochie and Jamie enjoyed a “Huckleberry Finn’’ childhood that saw them always outside and making things. Curiosity was expected in the Daddo household.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Mum was always, like, ‘do it yourself’. So that’s what happened,’’ he says. Hence in the US Daddo crafted dining tables from hardwood cladding removed from his LA home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When I was 18 a lady gave me career advice: ‘Just say yes. See where that leads you’. She said, ‘For you, it’s just a matter of saying yes’. So that’s what I’ve done. It’s also about being excited and having passion. I love telling stories. I’ve always loved acting. You can plug that into any ­medium – writing, acting radio, film and TV. ’’ See it THE SOUND OF MUSIC Where: Lyric Theatre, QPAC, South Brisbane When: March 11-April 24 Cost: $69.90-$140.90More info: qpac.com.au</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Apart from doubling the submarine fleet to 12, the white paper foreshadows a substantially more powerful surface fleet, including much larger anti-submarine warfare frigates and large multi-role offshore patrol vessels.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Construction of the new ships will begin a historic long-term continuous build program of warships and minor naval vessels to try to ensure a permanent, viable naval shipbuilding industry.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The new mix will allow for a more formidable strategic presence in the region. The nine new frigates — which at about 7000 tonnes will be ­almost twice the size of the eight 3800-tonne Anzac frigates they will replace — will be configured for anti-submarine warfare, a capability the navy has struggled to achieve so far.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The new frigates will have the range and endurance to operate throughout maritime Southeast Asia and be deployable from forward bases, such as in the Middle East,” the Defence Department says. They are estimated to cost more than $30bn and will be built in Adelaide from 2020. They will enter service from the late 2020s.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The white paper also calls for 12 new offshore patrol vessels, costing $4bn, to be built from 2018 and enter service from the early 2020s to replace the 13 Armidale-class patrol boats. “The OPVs will have greater reach, endurance and capacity than the Armidale-class patrol <b>boat</b> fleet, allowing them to perform a broader range of border protection and patrol missions,” Defence says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The navy wants the multi-role OPVs as soon as possible to ­replace the Armidale boats, which have suffered wear and tear and major cracking as a result of their near-constant use during <b>asylum</b>-seeker operations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Three air warfare destroyers being built in Adelaide, due to enter service in the early 2020s, would provide defence against air and missile attack, the paper says. They will offer protection for a convoy of troops aboard the navy’s two new giant landing ships.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The white paper confirms plans to retain a sovereign naval shipbuilding industry through a continuous build program, including for the new submarines.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government says its continuous build plan will guarantee about 2500 Australian surface shipbuilding jobs for decades.The larger maritime capability will force the navy to upgrade support facilities at HMAS Stirling in Perth and at Fleet Base East at Sydney’s Garden Island.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s this: her parents are from Nepal.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why are people from Nepal, a democracy with no war or recent record of persecution, the latest heroes of the “<b>refugee</b>” lobby? Who are they trying to kid?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nothing about this case makes sense.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asha was just 12 months old when she was burned by boiling water while in detention in Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was an accident while sterilising the water, said her mother, although police interviewed her after a security guard said he overheard her confessing she deliberately burned her baby.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Whatever the truth, Asha was sent to a Brisbane hospital for treatment for superficial burns, and, naturally, her parents came too, 16 months after trying to get here by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Activists then picketed the hospital to protest against the family being sent back to Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Doctors even refused to release Asha for more than a week after she’d been treated, claiming they had a duty not to send her back into dangerous detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But what greater danger have they now invited, after forcing the Turnbull Government to let the family temporarily stay here?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The message to other parents on Nauru seems clear: if their children are somehow injured, they, too, will get to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Don’t believe there’s no danger of harm. The <span class="companylink">Human Rights Commission</span> has reported that detained children sewed their lips and slashed their chests with razors to force the then Howard Government to let them out.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But all this misses the main point.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why has the “<b>refugee</b>” lobby made this Nepalese family the focus of their fight against our border laws?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We have been told little about the parents other than they claim to be “minority Christians” needing refuge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet Nepal has no war, famine and dictatorship. Nor does this largely Hindu country persecute Christians. In fact, the government even announced a national holiday to celebrate Christmas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At worst, Nepalese law bans people of all faiths from trying to convert others. But even if some Nepalese did feel persecuted, they can simply move over the border into India, since the India-Nepal Treaty of Peace and Friendship gives them the “same privileges [as Indian citizens] in the matter of residence”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That also means Australia has arguably no obligation to any Nepalese claiming to be refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As section 36 of our Migration Act states: “Australia is taken not to have protection obligations in respect of a non-citizen who has not taken all possible steps to avail himself or herself of a right to enter and reside in … any country apart from Australia”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So activists angry at Asha’s detention shouldn’t ask why we keep her parents in Nauru, but why her parents don’t go home to Nepal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s telling that such obvious questions are ignored in the rush by activists and the media to find victims of our “cruel” policies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And it keeps happening.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This month the High Court turned down a bid by the Human Rights Law Centre to have detention on Nauru declared unlawful.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This time the case involved a <b>boat</b>-person from Bangladesh, but once again, Bangladesh? A source of refugees? This democracy that has no war or famine?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yes, the Bangladeshi government, although freely elected, is increasingly authoritarian, restricting free speech. Yes, there has been political violence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But if that’s all it takes to make a <b>refugee</b>, then let’s open the door to the 156 million other Bangladeshis, and 1 billion Chinese as well. Most Africans and even Russians would qualify.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet which activist explained why a Bangladeshi was in our High Court, demanding to stay? Which journalist asked why she didn’t just go home?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So few seem interested in asking these fundamental questions. Just yesterday, Melbourne newspaper The Age ran a front-page story gasping that “the Salvation Army has effectively urged a Tamil <b>asylum</b>-seeker on Manus Island to go home because: ‘You will never live in Australia’.” Why this shock?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For a start, the Salvo was just explaining the law. More importantly, why was the Tamil claiming to be a <b>refugee</b> from Sri Lanka?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sri Lanka is no more at war. It is a democracy. Tamils are in Parliament and in the national cricket team. The United Nations is now helping Tamils return to the country, not flee it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet again journalists did not ask: who are these people demanding to come in, and why must we admit them?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why do they dodge the obvious question?</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A <span class="companylink">Salvation Army</span> risk and compliance officer, who is only identified as "Andrew", wrote to a Tamil man on the charity's letterhead in January 2014 saying: "You can expect to remain in this facility for a very long time whilst this process is undertaken.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"You may be given an opportunity to be resettled in PNG but I am not sure when or if this may occur. The only other option available to you is to seek repatriation with the assistance of <span class="companylink">IOM</span> (<span class="companylink">International Organisation for Migration</span>) to your country of origin.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If you choose not to go home you will spend a very, very long time here. You have been told lies by people smugglers."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">Salvation Army</span> has declared publicly its opposition to offshore detention and received more than $70 million under a contract to provide humanitarian services on Manus Island and Nauru between 2012 and 2014. A spokesman acknowledged the letter was written by one of its staff "in consultation" with the Immigration Department.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said the group's contract with the department required it to communicate official information to detainees, including the time frames associated with the processing of their <b>asylum</b> seeker claims.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The message could have been communicated more sensitively, the spokesman said, but it accurately reflected the government's July 2013 policy decision not to resettle <b>boat</b> arrivals in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The <span class="companylink">Salvation Army</span> agrees that the content of the letter, read in isolation, is incredibly harsh, however, there was no malicious or cruel intent held when this letter was written," the spokesman said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An Immigration Department spokeswoman said the contract with the <span class="companylink">Salvation Army</span> contained no requirement for the Department to "vet, oversee or help draft" correspondence to transferees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Tamil man was part of a group known as "OPK" which attempted to enter Australia by <b>boat</b> in mid-2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Perhaps in some part, the content of the letter reflected a choice between two incredibly difficult situations, firstly, where transferees would be left in limbo - not knowing what would happen to them or still hoping that they would be resettled in Australia - or alternatively, communicating the incredibly difficult message that post 19 July 2013, transferees would not be resettled in Australia and according to the government policy there would be absolutely no exceptions," the Salvation Army spokesman said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"In communicating the latter, it was hoped that this could at least give the transferees some certainty about their future and some choice (although a very bleak choice) as to whether they would remain at the centres or return to their country of origin if they preferred to do so."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Asylum</b> seekers have also alleged that they were beaten by private security guards during an operation to end a January 2015 Manus Island hunger strike, and have told <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> in a series of letters that they were jailed in the nearby Lorengau police cells for up to 21 days.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Leaked files from Broadspectrum, the company contracted to run the Manus Island and Nauru centres, support some of the claims of injury and placement in the police cells.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The company's files show detainees sought medical treatment after complaining of nerve pain in their arms, which they claimed was the a result of having their wrists tightly bound by plastic restraints during the hunger strike.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One detainee wrote in a letter that he was kicked in the head by security guards while he was in the Lorengau police cells and was left shirtless during his 21 day stint in the cells. Another said the cells were filthy and that "the toilet sewage would come to where we slept".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An Iraqi <b>asylum</b> seeker has claimed in a letter that he was beaten about the head with a stick by security staff, resulting in damage to his eyesight and the loss of teeth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The letters do not specify whether the security staff who committed the alleged assaults were Australians or local PNG employees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The leaked Broadspectrum files show that many complaints against security staff are found to be unsubstantiated due to a lack of evidence.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Turnbull government is trying to strike deals with half a dozen nations to resettle some of the 1459 <b>asylum</b>-seekers left on Nauru and Manus Island. That's welcome news.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet when New Zealand offered to resettle 150 detainees - including Baby Asha, who has been in Australia for medical treatment - the government refused. It reckoned sending detainees to New Zealand would encourage people smugglers to sell that nation as a very acceptable second port of call after Nauru or Manus Island.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">New Zealand, it seems, is too good for <b>boat</b> people and their children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Based on the rejection of the NZ offer, it is reasonable to assume Australia would never strike a resettlement deal with, say, Canada or the US. By contrast, Cambodia was fine because the government struck a deal there. So, it seems, are Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, with whom the government is negotiating.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As talks progress, the detainees are in limbo on two Pacific Islands in punishing conditions. We have no independent oversight on the islands. The government accuses critics of the policy as media activists when they are, in most cases, simply reflecting the wish of Australians to be more humane in stopping the boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Surely the deterrent factor in offshore detention is the harshness of Nauru and Manus Island coupled with the impossibility of eventual settlement in Australia. The interception of boats acts as the last line of defence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Deterrence should not extend to finding the most dangerous and unpleasant place to resettle refugees, especially given the health problems they suffer during their incarceration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Herald accepts that the deterrence and <b>boat</b> turn-back policies have worked. We welcome that drop in the number of people in detention, especially of children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Only 75 children remain in detention. But one child in detention - especially a sick one like Baby Asha - is too many. She has been discharged from hospital in Brisbane and taken to a community detention house in that city. The government says she will be removed to Nauru once medical and legal processes have been completed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has admitted 83 people who have come from Nauru to Australia "are in community detention already. This family [Baby Asha's] has been treated no differently to the families that we have treated before them".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Surely that suggests community detention here has not been an open invitation to people smugglers or the 10,000 potential <b>boat</b> people he claims are waiting in Indonesia for a sign of weakness from Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In his show of toughness and refusal to allow Baby Asha to stay in Brisbane, Mr Dutton even suggested that detainees could in effect blackmail Australia into removing them from the detention centres.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I'm not going to conduct a situation, not going to preside over a situation where we have people self-harming to come to hospitals in this country because they believe that is the route out into the Australian community for Australian citizenship," the minister said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Independent MP Andrew Wilkie and the Greens were right in supporting a censure of Mr Dutton.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If he believes community detention of ailing <b>asylum</b>-seeker women and children on Australian soil has prompted people smugglers to sell the prospect of self-harming as a way of entering Australia, or that the detainees have injured themselves just to get out of Nauru or Manus Island, he should provide case studies and statistics. He has not.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As such the government should remove all children from offshore detention and place them in community safe houses.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The processing of adult <b>asylum</b> claims must be accelerated, too, and resettlement deals pursued vigorously with whichever countries are interested. Since the High Court ruled the Labor government's deal with Malaysia unlawful in 2011, successive regimes have struggled to find nations willing to take enough refugees. Any such future agreements may be months in the making.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The offer of resettlement from New Zealand should have been accepted. The minuscule risk of reviving the people smugglers could have been tackled by insisting this was a one-off deal; reiterating that any resettled refugees or <b>asylum</b> seekers would never be allowed passage to or settlement in Australia; and that future <b>boat</b> arrivals would not be eligible for resettlement in New Zealand. It is not too late for the Turnbull government to rethink and accept.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As if caring whether her program is widely viewed somehow reflects poorly on her intelligence.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As if there’s shame in trying to make news watchable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s a phenomenon that, I hate to say, is so often peculiar to women. Just ask Geoffrey Barker, the retired journo who wrote a scathing piece on commercial TV reporters – just the ones with vaginas, of course.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Welcome to commercial TV journalism – where post-pubescent babes fill TV screens with their urgent and empty chatter from suburban shootings, accidents, fires, courthouses, showbiz first-night events, etc etc,” Barker wrote in Fairfax newspaper The Age in 2013. “I have a problem with commercial TV news. I don’t want it delivered to me via crimson lips and fancy coiffures.” Even <span class="companylink">SBS</span>’s female journos, who work for a network that’s 80 per cent publicly funded, cop it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just ask reporter Ellie Laing who saw red after a piece in The Australian last year suggesting she and other “attractive” recruits were only hired for their looks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It said <span class="companylink">SBS</span> newsrooms now buzz with ‘young’, female reporters who were good-looking and Anglo-Celtic,” Laing wrote in a reaction piece for media site Mumbrella.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Of course, it failed to mention anything about our abilities. Our work ethic. Our experience.” The snootiness towards the women of commercial TV reached peak heights this week with the extraordinary personal attack by ABC presenter Virginia Haussegger on breakfast host Samantha Armytage. The Canberra newsreader called Armytage a “mindless bimbo”, “ditzy”, the “dumb chicks ringleader” and – just in case anyone missed the B-word the first time around – “part of the bimbo brigade”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sam’s great crime?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To participate in a poorly-acted recreation of one of the all-time best scenes (the one where Carrie gets broken up with on a Post-it note) from Sex And The City, the cult TV series to which Sunrise guest Kristin Davis owes her celebrity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was, admittedly, cringeworthy to watch Davis and the three Seven co-hosts struggle through the script, but that’s live TV for you; sometimes, the best-laid plans don’t come off as hoped.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Is it really, though, a great affront to feminism, as Haussegger writes? Please, spare me.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Davis may now be an advocate for refugees, using her profile to raise awareness for the cause but breakfast TV producers would be all too aware that most harried mums making school lunches at home only would have tuned in to the segment because hey, there’s Charlotte from the telly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That Davis got three minutes to talk about <b>refugee</b> issues and plug the $200-a-head fundraiser she was spruiking is, as the ABC’s own Media Watch put it on Monday night, “not bad for breakfast TV”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Frankly, Davis’ undignified reaction on her <span class="companylink">Twitter</span> feed afterwards smacked of an overindulged star. But it is far worse – and utterly rich – for someone from the ABC to have a crack at commercial TV’s coverage of <b>refugee</b> issues when the network’s own reporting on the topic has been so woeful. Let’s not forget this is the channel that repeatedly broadcast that a five-year-old <b>refugee</b> had been raped on Nauru which turned out to be untrue. So ready were its own journalists to accept the horrific allegation as fact, to push the network’s own anti-offshore processing agenda, they published the damning claims two hours before even bothering to approach relevant authorities to verify their truth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Needless to say, they weren’t and the ABC was forced to apologise. There’s a pattern here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last year, the ABC broadcast – unchallenged – a Somali <b>refugee</b>’s claims she was raped on Nauru. It later emerged she’d declined to make a statement or lodge a complaint with police and they found no physical evidence to support her story.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The year before, it aired unverified allegations that Royal Australian Navy personnel had tortured <b>boat</b> arrivals by forcing them to hold hot pipes or engines. The network later issued a statement, stopping just short of an apology: “We regret if our reporting led anyone to mistakenly assume that the ABC supported the <b>asylum</b> seekers’ claims.” <b>Refugee</b> issues are complex enough and already seeped in emotion. It serves none of us, let alone the desperate families paying thousands to unscrupulous <b>boat</b> smugglers to make the deadly journey, to spread falsehoods.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One glaring difference between commercial and public TV is if you don’t like what’s on the former, you can simply change channels or switch off altogether. No one is forcing you to watch. Of course, you can do the same with the ABC, but your hard-earned taxes will still be directed towards the $1.03 billion-a-year operation, by far the best funded in the Australian media landscape. And that’s what makes the sneering more cringey than a silly skit.</p>

In a joint appearance with his NZ counterpart, John Key , he said: "We are utterly committed to ensuring that we give no encouragement, no marketing opportunities to the people smugglers."

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia are the ideal resettlement option. Labor's immigration spokesman, Richard Marles, responding to revelations of the new negotiations, said: "Offshore processing remains a critical deterrent to people smuggling. However, the long-term viability of this policy rests on Australia securing a viable third-country resettlement plan. We simply must find a durable resettlement solution. A failure to do so will result in tremendous harm being done to this group of men, women and children."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">You may remember the controversial documentary Leaky <b>Boat</b> from that elegant but piercingly determined director Victoria Midwinter-Pitt that took us back to the winter of 2001, when the crew of the Norwegian tanker Tampa pulled 438 refugees from a distressed fishing vessel in international waters.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The boarding of the vessel by Australian special forces, on orders from the top, led to the so-called Pacific Solution whereby <b>asylum</b>-seekers were taken to Nauru, where their <b>refugee</b> status was considered rather than in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Written and directed by Midwinter-Pitt, Leaky <b>Boat</b> is a suave essay on the physics of power, calmly and impassively dealing with ambiguities and political conundrums, a story told through the testimonies of those who were there. The same is true of her latest and certainly most ambitious project, Afghanistan: Inside Australia’s War, a comprehensive three-hour examination of the ground war in that land that sits on the fault line of empires and its successes and failures — as well as a reflection on why we find ourselves today battling terrorism on so many fronts, and why no one seems to have a clue what to do about it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Australians carry our memory of war with a special reverence, a passion, yet few of us know little about the longest war we’ve fought,” says her narrator, Dan Wyllie, an astute youthful choice with just the right edge of irony in his voice. “This war is not an event of distant memory — it’s the most recent one, one in many ways we’re still fighting.” And again, given the divisive nature of the series, its frank expose of political chicanery and moral panic, Midwinter-Pitt gives us a three-hour film that is also unexpectedly moving. This beautifully crafted piece of complex documentary filmmaking will haunt you for days.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Midwinter-Pitt and her producers and researchers embarked on an epic process where about 500 people who fought that war on the ground sat down for long hours to share their experiences, conversation that began with a clear understanding that this would be a warts-and-all portrait of the war and the people who fought it and those who sent them to die.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Most of what we read and hear about the conflict in Afghanistan focuses on politics, strategy and the fruitless outcome, but this series is interested in more than the abstractions, the slogans and self-justification after the fact.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Midwinter-Pitt is more concerned with the men the politicians sent away to do their dirty work and the combatants’ observations in hindsight. (One of the most telling comments in the first episode is from John Howard at the time: “I didn’t want us to be just another name on the list; I was determined that we would have a meaningful role.” A captain’s choice perhaps?) What they tell us is not what one really expects — these are intelligent and observant soldiers. “There are a lot of answers in fighting,” one says. “There’s a lot of powerful information, a lot of emotion; it’s all very honest, very true.” Another says, “I want to remember; instead of trying to forget, instead of having a nightmare, I was going to have a memory.” Midwinter-Pitt takes us on a series of journeys with the elite soldiers of the Perth-based Special Air Service, there from the start, into a universe so alien to us it may as well be a planet in a distant solar system. As one combatant puts it: “Like a biblical experience with guns, that’s what Afghanistan was like.” It was a war where the soldiers found it almost impossible to find anyone to fight, where everyone had a gun and anyone could be the enemy, and where, as another soldier says, “all the hills have eyes”. The most common refrain, even from the hardest of grunts, was: “Where are they all?” This was one of the strangest and most surreal conflicts in the history of war, the weirdness and unreality testified to by the cast of ordinary and extraordinary Afghans Midwinter-Pitt interviews as well, from warlords, to ex-<span class="companylink">Taliban</span> soldiers to mothers and taxi drivers who saw the war from a different angle.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s also a privileged inside look at the nature of soldiering itself — real life, that is, not the romanticised fictional version we see so often in movies — those virtues of loyalty, inter-reliance, co-operation that can’t be easily found in modern society. There’s even a sense that some of these men still hanker for the experience of the hard times (all interviewed say they would go back), not the danger or loss but the closeness and emotional support, and the way that personal interest is subsumed into group atten­tiveness because personal existence is not possible without group survival.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Midwinter-Pitt breaks her narrative into chapters, each one tellingly titled — The Message of the Bomb, The Sound of a Proper War, The Next Job and so on — a neat, stylish way to break the story into set pieces, intercut with the highly structured interviews shot in extreme close-up from different perspectives and angles.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She’s expert at what she once called “the quick zap of the sensory experience of confinement, panic, struggle, violence and distress”. Possessing a gift as a director for fine compositions, and with fine collaborators in her camera team of Paul Costello and Mathew Sweeney, ­Midwinter-Pitt always seeks a lyrical quality to the images — even in the most extreme situations of stress and conflict.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The early scenes of the SAS motoring into deadly Kandahar province edited from unique helmet-cam footage — was this Australia’s first self-shot war? — are beautifully realised, leading us into the strategic confusion, individual heroism and massive firepower of Operation Anaconda, the biggest battle of the war.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ultimately, as Midwinter-Pitt suggests, the story these men and women have to tell is universal: it could be coming from the trenches of France, or it could be Troy. “The pity and the humanity distilled in war are timeless. And this was our guiding principle — mine, the crew’s and the soldiers and Afghans who came to tell their stories: to make a document of what happened, for the sheer sake of bearing witness and remembering.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There was always a quaint unexpectedness about Ian “Molly” Meldrum — you just never knew just what was going to come out of his mouth. Neither, it would seem, did he. And obviously he still doesn’t know. For all the madness and chaos that surrounded him when he first came to our screens back in the early 1970s on Countdown and quickly became one of the most powerful TV presenters in the world — and one of the most unlikely — there was a saving impudence, a resilient independence. He could bluff his way out of any situation by convincingly assuming the pose of an expert in his craft — though what determined that craft was always hard to fathom. He was the ultimate fan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Molly, Seven’s terrific two-part series, celebrated — First Watch’s deadlines and Seven’s withholding the finished edit until the last minute meant I couldn’t review it in concert — he wasn’t merely a funny man with a crowd of three million a week but became a popular hero in his own right, a champion of the local voice in music, a clown who resisted authority and the dull rules of everyday life. To his vast audience he seemed to reside on some distant, happier planet, some giant green room full of famous faces, bodies in various stages of undress, where the liquor never stopped flowing and an orgy was just about to begin.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His secret was that whatever level of sophistication he aspired to in his utterances about music he was always the naive schoolboy to whom mischief meant unlimited joy. His stolid frame resisted the facile pathos of the little man cliche — there was also something priapic about him, a leering lasciviousness he could never quite control — but the air of battered innocence made it inevitable that a sense of pathos always surrounded him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In this fine production from Michael Gudinski’s Mushroom Pictures, the little used but accomplished actor Samuel Johnson got Meldrum just right, especially that face, that extraordinarily plastic visage: at once innocent as a baby and as astute and devious as the most prosperous of music agents, a face that through the glint of an eye and the slightest flicker of a smile could melt the most frigid audiences.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was said of the old vaudeville comic Sid Field that he only had to wink with the side of his mouth to be funny, and Molly has the same gift — still, but only just it seems — and Johnson nailed it in an at times absorbingly touching performance.Afghanistan: Inside Australia’s War, Tuesday, 8.30pm, ABC.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While sticking to the blueprint that stopped the boats, the Prime Minister needs to clean up the damage left behind.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is a widespread impression that the policy of stopping the boats is a work complete, a finished product.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That the 2000 or so <b>asylum</b> seekers left stranded in offshore detention, caught by the permanent closure of the waterways for people without visas, are to remain an object lesson forever, their suffering a warning to others.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And that the voices raised in protest are forlornly futile.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">None of these assumptions is correct.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The policy of stopping the boats is a project half finished.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The arrival of new boats has indeed been stopped. And the methods used to stop them are non-negotiable for Malcolm Turnbull. He will do nothing that might risk a reopening of the traffic.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For instance, he was asked on Friday at an appearance with New Zealand's John Key whether he would accept the Kiwi's offer to take 150 of the people locked up on Manus Island and Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He explained why Australia's answer remains "thanks but no thanks":</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We are utterly committed to ensuring that we give no encouragement, no marketing opportunities to the people smugglers."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">How would it be a marketing opportunity if NZ were to take some? Because the people smugglers could sell it as a new product, Turnbull imagines, along these lines - "come on my <b>boat</b> to Australia, yes you'll be taken to a detention camp but look, you'll eventually go to live in lovely NZ.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"And if you don't like it there, it's easy to move from NZ to Australia any time." He will take no chances of creating a possible "pull factor" for <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The one thing we must not do is give an inch to the people smugglers," Turnbull continued, "because, believe me, we are not talking about theories here. The alternative approach has been tried by Labor and we know what the consequences are."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull reminded reporters of what happened the last time Australia relaxed its policy on <b>boat</b> arrivals under the Rudd government: "Over 150,000 unauthorised arrivals, over a thousand deaths at sea. It was a catastrophic failure of policy."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor, with the greatest reluctance, had to agree. It was Rudd who, eventually, declared that no one arriving by <b>boat</b> would ever be allowed to settle in Australia. And it was Rudd who negotiated with PNG to set up the Manus Island camp.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That wasn't enough to stop the boats, and it was, famously, the Abbott government's promise that it would "stop the boats" by turning them back at sea, where necessary.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor last year formally accepted <b>boat</b> turnbacks as part of its policy. Turnbacks are now bipartisan national policy and non-negotiable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia's coastline is vast at over 36,000 kilometres long, equivalent to about 90 per cent of the circumference of the earth. Comprehensively sealing it to <b>boat</b> arrivals is a considerable logistical feat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This was also central to restoring public confidence that the borders are under sovereign control and that the immigration program is orderly. As boats have stopped, polled support for the current immigration program has risen, shown in surveys including the annual Scanlon Foundation reports on Australian social cohesion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is now an established pattern, recurring over decades, that reveals the underlying socio-political construct in Australia - if we think the borders are under control, we accept a high immigration intake. If boats are arriving in an uncontrolled way, we oppose it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But that alone is not enough. The offshore detention camps are not a permanent solution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They are inherently unreliable as physical realities. They are politically vulnerable, subject to the vagaries of political opinion in the host countries of Nauru and PNG. The Nauruan government specifically designates the Australian detention centre as "temporary".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor's Richard Marles, who engineered the party's decision last year to accept <b>boat</b> turnbacks, points out that 1000 or so <b>asylum</b> seekers is a big number in a tiny country, population 10,000:</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Nauru has never been a suitable place for the long-term settlement of hundreds of refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers. The idea of permanently resettling an extra 10 per cent on the existing population is plainly silly, and the need to resolve the fate of these <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees is becoming critical, both for them and the Republic of Nauru."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And the camps are inherently unconscionable to a great many Australians as a permanent place of detention for people who risked their lives to get to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The daily fact of their imprisonment in Australia's name chafes and pricks the consciences of millions. A quarter of respondents to an Essential Media poll last November said the treatment of people in the offshore detention centres was "too harsh". That equates to over 3.5 million Australian voters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many of these are people who consider themselves Liberal voters, but they're uneasy over the suffering of <b>asylum</b> seekers. The party's internal research is showing that this is a problem, an issue that suppresses potential levels of support for Turnbull.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the same poll, another 29 per cent of respondents said their treatment was "too soft". These people, however, are generally voting for the Coalition already. They will not abandon Turnbull over <b>asylum</b> seekers so long as the boats stay stopped.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is an issue that dogs Australia's image abroad and eats away at its reputation as a country that respects human rights. It is the biggest continuing source of international media coverage of Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The moral dimension of the treatment of immigrants flared this week in the US election campaign when the Pope condemned would-be Republican candidate Donald Trump.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The celebrity demagogue's very first sally into the presidential campaign was to smear Mexicans as rapists and to promise to build a wall along the entire 3100 kilometre border, with Mexico somehow being required to pay for it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is not a plausible policy; the popularity of it with Americans, however, is a case study in how a frustrated people can turn to extremes if they think their borders are not under sovereign control.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pope Francis told reporters: "Anyone, whoever he is, who only wants to build walls and not bridges is not a Christian."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia has a big immigration program, one of the biggest in the world on a per capita basis. So it is a leading bridge-builder, on the Pope's definition. Yet this is lost in global media coverage, which highlights only the suffering of <b>asylum</b> seekers in offshore detention camps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is no surprise - the definition of news is what's going wrong in the world, not all that's well. But it is a reality that the persistence and prevalence of the coverage shapes international perception of Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The surge of public sympathy for the 237 <b>asylum</b> seekers who've been brought from Nauru to Brisbane for medical treatment has shown that many Australians remain keenly alive to the plight of <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The "let them stay" campaign has moved a lengthening list of churches to offer them sanctuary under the ancient custom. Even though it has no legally enforceable basis, this is a powerful moral statement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The case of baby Asha has become a focal point. The government intends to return the one-year-old, being treated for burns, to Nauru once her medical care is complete. But the child's doctors are refusing to discharge her.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"This is like the boy who drowned on the beach in Turkey," Alan Kurdi, "because it personalises the issue," says Patrick Baume of the media monitoring firm <span class="companylink">iSentia</span>. "It's pricked the conscience of a lot of people across the spectrum."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He says this helps explain the continuing prominence of the "let them stay campaign". It was the third most-reported story in the news this week, after the new Turnbull ministry and the tax debate but ahead of the Cardinal Pell story and coverage of the Grammys.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Let them stay" has been running at high volumes in the news media and in social media for two weeks now, says Baume: "That's a fairly long time for any story these days. It's clearly got more legs than any other <b>asylum</b> seeker issue in recent times."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The other part of the explanation is that the campaign has been shrewdly promoted by activists on social media, he says. By contrast, it's a dead issue on talkback radio. <span class="companylink">iSentia</span> reports "let them stay" had 8000 mentions on social media in two days this week but just 14 talkback calls.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The campaigning, officially ignored, is yet quietly noted, and the cumulative effect on Liberal voters is weighed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On a human level, the plight of the <b>asylum</b> seekers weighs on ministers and senior officials too. No official or politician wants to see them remain indefinitely in detention centres. None enjoys having to confront the constant stream of problems, allegations of rape and abuse, harm and self-harm.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull himself, while immovable on the methods that have stopped the boats, wants movement on the resettlement of <b>asylum</b> seekers on Manus Island and Nauru. "I want this settled," he instructed a senior official soon after taking the prime ministership.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Abbott government already was quietly seeking options for their resettlement to third countries. Turnbull has put new energy and focus into the quest, officials said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australian officials are discussing resettlement of <b>asylum</b> seekers from the offshore detention centres into third countries with half a dozen foreign governments now. Of those, discussions have progressed into negotiations with three.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With Malaysia and the Philippines, talks are focused on resettlement of <b>asylum</b> seekers. With Indonesia, the question is whether Jakarta will agree to take back people who boarded boats to Australia, who will never be permitted to settle in Australia, but who still have family or other connections in Indonesia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Both major parties are determined that the boats must stay stopped. That is non-negotiable. But neither wants the <b>asylum</b> seekers now in offshore detention to remain in the camps forever. And the voices of Australia's troubled conscience are being heard.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Thursday Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, in Washington to discuss border protection at a Five Country ministerial meeting, repeated the Turnbull government's insistence that <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees in Australia for medical care, and their families, would be returned to Nauru once their treatment has finished.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Health professionals working in the detention regime were "lending credibility to abuses", whether deliberately or inadvertently.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Four hundred years ago, Dutch explorer Dirk Hartog arrived on our shores and left behind Australia’s first European artefact, an ­inscribed plate nailed to a post near Shark Bay on the remote West Australian coast.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many Dutch seafarers followed­, often sailing perilously close to the coast in Dutch East India Company ships. Some foundered.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now, in the Hartog annivers­ary year, the hunt has quickened for those ships that failed to get home. Maritime ­archeologist and former Western Australian Maritime Museum director Graeme Henderson hopes he may soon be adding another find to the list of known shipwrecks — the Batavia (1629), Vergulde Draeck (1656), Zuytdorp (1712) and Zeewijk (1727) — in West Australian waters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But this time Mr Henderson is venturing further afield, to Christmas Island, where he says the fifth Dutch East India Company wreck may be found. He will head a team of Australian shipwreck archeologists and researchers who, from next week, will try to locate the Dutch vessel Fortuyn close to Christmas Island and the Cocos Keeling Islands, both Australian territories in the Indian Ocean.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The fate of the Fortuyn has long been unknown,’’ he says. “Various theories exist about its sailing route and the location of the shipwreck.” A chance find by a Dutch researcher­ examining shipping archive­s offered a tantalising clue — the longitudinal position of wreckage identified as that of the Fortuyn had been recorded by a skipper on another Dutch vessel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 44m Fortuyn was built in 1723. Skipper Pieter Westrik and his crew of 225 men departed from the Dutch island Texel on its maiden voyage on September 27, 1723, carrying 200,000 guilders’ worth of silver bars and coins.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Fortuyn sailed in convoy with two other company ships to Batavia, now Jakarta, before heading off alone on January 18, 1794. It was never seen again.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The new information suggests the floating wreckage was spotted in the latitude of the Cocos Keeling Islands and the longitude of Christmas Island,” Mr Henderson says. Many ships that sailed eastwards across the Indian Ocean to Batavia during the 18th century would have passed ­between Cocos and Christmas ­Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Last year we used a magnetometer towed behind a <b>boat</b> to ­locate a good number of anom­alies which could represent cultural material — we’re looking for eight big anchors and 36 cannons,’’ Mr Henderson says. “The next challenge is jumping in the water and seeing what’s there.” The team members will have to be wary of powerful swells on the southwest side of the island. The power of those swells was tragically highlighted on December 15, 2010, when a <b>boat</b> carrying 90 <b>asylum</b>-seekers, mostly from Iraq and Iran, sank off the same stretch of coast, killing 48 people aboard.The marine hunt, called Closing­ in on the Fortuyn, is being funded by the Dutch government and <span class="companylink">Parks Australia</span>. If they hit the jackpot, Mr Henderson’s team will present its findings in Nov­ember­ at the 2016 International Congress for Underwater Archeology conference in Fremantle.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">AUSTRALIA’S history with <b>asylum</b> seekers has been vexed ever since the Keating Labor government introduced mandatory detention in the early 1990s. At the time the source of unauthorised arrivals came predominantly from Southeast Asia and, while the numbers were nothing like that seen in more recent times, boats turning up on Australian shores at regular intervals caused community concern and alarm in Canberra where the consequences of “opening the floodgates” were discussed. A sharp upturn in arrivals just under a decade later caused John Howard to implement offshore processing and to pledge no <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrived in irregular ways would be offered settlement.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As the boats stopped, the attention turned to children in detention and Mr Howard had to give ground to critics within his own party. After a change of government in 2007, Kevin Rudd and Labor misread community sentiment and assumed a “tough but fair” policy could prevail. People smugglers in Indonesia had other ideas and over the following six years about 50,000 people arrived by <b>boat</b> in a seemingly endless procession – with such intense competition to get here that impossible risks were taken and more than 2000, at least, died at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What happened during those six years of Labor was that a government policy, which might have been well-intentioned, led directly to loss of life and unfathomable suffering. It is a matter of national shame and regret and we should do everything we can to ensure these circumstances are not repeated. Since the election of the Coalition – first under Tony Abbott and his original immigration minister Scott Morrison – the boats have stopped.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A combination of an unwavering tough line, backed by a no-exceptions offshore processing regime, <b>boat</b> turnbacks in appropriate circumstances and an increased effort in source and transit countries to turn off the people-smuggling tap have been the bedrock of this policy success. Australia should not hide from this achievement – especially at a time when Europe is in crisis because of an inability to control its borders and a complete failure to deal with the hundreds of thousands of <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees arriving from North Africa and the Middle East.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Malcolm Turnbull became Prime Minister, some in the community believed there might be a softening of the hard line towards <b>asylum</b> seekers. There has not, and Mr Turnbull seems to be as resolute in his determination to prevent any uptick in <b>asylum</b> seeker arrivals as his predecessor. Mr Turnbull has been warned by his Immigration Minister Peter Dutton – too often adorned with a bad guy black hat when he is just doing what the community expects – that any signal which telegraphed a lessening of the resolve would cause the people smugglers to restart the engines in their leaky boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the High Court made the logical and sensible decision last week to confirm the constitutionality of offshore processing, there has been a lawyer-led campaign to have the 267 <b>asylum</b> seekers awaiting deportation to Nauru stay on the Australian mainland. The face of this campaign, which has been joined by state premiers, church leaders and community activists, is baby Asha, a one-year-old Nepalese girl who is in Brisbane’s Lady Cilento Hospital where administrators are refusing to release her until “a suitable home environment is identified”.This is using emotion to seek to force a change of a national policy supported by an overwhelming majority of Australians. As hard-headed as it might be, we cannot have exceptions to our offshore processing policy. It has been endorsed by the High Court and its success has saved an unknowable number of <b>asylum</b> seekers. Each case is different, which is why Mr Dutton considers the particular circumstances of those whose files come across his desk. Mr Dutton knows the best way to get children out of detention is to have a policy that is enforced resolutely, just as stopping the boats required a no- exceptions approach. It is better to deal with these problems at the top of the cliff, rather than sending ambulances and hearses to the bottom.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The national broadcaster had to apologise last week for claiming a five-year-old boy was raped on Nauru and would be sent back to live alongside the perpetrator. According to authorities in Australia and Nauru there was no rape — and no victim. Yet, of course, the multitudinous arms of the national broadcaster and the so-called progressive publications who take its word as gospel repeated the sensational claim breathlessly. On Insiders it was asserted as fact.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There was an apology and correction of sorts, you might have noticed, on 7.30, where the claim originated. But the damage was done — a highly disturbing factoid was given prominent exposure just when a High Court decision returned the issue to top of the agenda.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last year 7.30 ran unverified claims of rape from women on Nauru and police investigations concluded they were concocted. There is a pattern of behaviour from the ABC in its coverage of this issue: wild allegations are run uncritically, without scepticism or any apparent attempt at verification. The common factor is they portray Australia’s border protection policies or those enforcing it in the worst possible light. In 2014 the national broadcaster falsely claimed our Navy deliberately tortured <b>asylum</b> seekers by burning their hands. Eventually it was forced to withdraw the claim. Again, the damage was done.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These stories usually sound far-fetched and rely on a level of callousness and brutality by service personnel and immigration workers that is hard to imagine and would be difficult to hide. The reporting assumes horrible things about large numbers of government employees — not to mention Nauruans.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Journalists should always be sceptical about serious allegations and given the obvious and compelling incentives for people on Nauru to create a reason to be brought to Australia or undermine the policy, the ABC should treat claims by <b>asylum</b>-seekers and their advocates with commonsense and caution. They seem to doubt every piece of government information yet take critics at face value. The public can see the absurdity and jaundice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The issue of border protection is diabolically difficult. But we elect federal politicians to consider complex problems — issues where perhaps the least-worst solution might be the best on offer — and make decisions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is no way to manage border protection policy that does not cause some hardship to some people (the harm of rejection, at the very least). It is a matter of deciding priorities and the most efficient, humane and practical ways to deliver them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australian governments of both persuasions, after a series of challenges, experiments and traumas, have decided the top priority must be to preserve the integrity of our borders and immigration system.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By protecting our sovereignty we preserve our generous immigration system, social cohesion, economic prosperity and ability to help others, including refugees through our humanitarian programs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That’s the logic, as best as I can pithily summarise it, but the ABC, for as long as I can remember, has had a corporate or groupthink view that is entirely different. Along with Greens politicians, some on the Left fringes of both major parties, and a range of advocates, it seems to want a world where anyone from a troubled or poor nation who can get to Australia by <b>boat</b> should be able to stay.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It seems not to care for the concept of sovereignty, the integrity of our immigration system or the rights of other refugees who are waiting in camps and have applied for resettlement programs but don’t have $10,000 or more to hand to people smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ABC wants Australia to demonstrate its generosity and compassion to the world by accepting <b>asylum</b>-seekers, ignoring the lessons of <b>boat</b> tragedies off our coast or trauma in Europe. It is a binary approach; strong border protection, <b>boat</b> turn-backs and offshore processing are evil, and <b>asylum</b>-seekers are virtuous and in need of our assistance.Of course our policies and their implementation should come under media scrutiny — especially to ensure nothing inhumane is carried out in our name. But censoring important facts and peddling malicious falsehoods to undermine a legitimate and democratically endorsed policy is not journalism — it is dishonest advocacy at taxpayers’ expense.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Welfare organisations are trying to bridge the gaps as European governments turn a cold shoulder to migrants, writes Nick Miller.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Idomeni, Greece: It's 2pm and the gateway to Europe is shut. It's been shut all day.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two old women, refugees, sit side by side in wheelchairs, their wrinkled faces staring at fresh coils of gleaming razor wire under two rows of fences that stretch across the farmland and into the mountains. This barrier, its no man's land patrolled by rifle-wielding soldiers, lies between them and the many hundreds of kilometres they still have to roll under their wheels.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sparrows flit through the fences and back, careless of the blades, chirping.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We are just outside the Greek border town of Idomeni, the choke point in the great European migration, one of the biggest movements of people since the Second World War.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Here the looming Balkan ranges funnel the flow of Syrian, Iraqi and Afghan refugees into a valley, and a wary Macedonia has in turn narrowed access to one sliding gate, wide enough for two to walk abreast.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than half a million people passed through the Idomeni crossing between September and the end of November. In November more than 6000 people a day on average crossed the border: some days more than 10,000. Today, perhaps none.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the second half of 2015 the flow of refugees into Europe was a lively river, flicking around obstructions into new routes, past wave-through checkpoints. Now it is more like a painful, halting digestion, borders opening and closing in reaction to each other in a kind of peristalsis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The gates close for any number of reasons: a landslide on a railway track, a protest by Macedonian taxi drivers accusing the government of depriving them of <b>refugee</b> cross-country fares.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But often the reason is simply this: there is no room for new arrivals until the last lot have moved again. As soon as movement is cut it shunts up the line. Transit camps fill and the message passes back, Austria to Croatia to Serbia to Macedonia to Greece: stop the flow, we're full.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And now there are signs that these temporarily closed borders are about to become more permanent. The double-line fence is up, guarded and buttressed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In late January the <span class="companylink">European Union</span> gave Greece a three-month ultimatum to stop migrants crossing from Turkey, or else the <span class="companylink">EU</span> would "quarantine" it outside the borderless Schengen area, ending free travel for more than just the refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Macedonia is determined not to become the meat in this sandwich. This week, Macedonian officials told Deutsche Welle that "when the signal from the <span class="companylink">EU</span> comes" it was ready to seal its southern border to refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the crisis is not yet upon Greece, not today.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At 2.30pm in Idomeni, the border finally opens. For the rest of the afternoon, every half hour or so, 50-odd refugees are let through - as long as they can prove they are Syrian, Iraqi or Afghan, a condition imposed by Macedonia late last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rob Johnston sits in the sun, and declares it a good day. Johnston is the Red Cross' field co-ordinator for northern Greece. His is a 'surge' job - he swings in when the pressure's on, and helps the locals plan their humanitarian strategy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Johnston was born in Colorado but is an adopted Aussie: for the last eight years he's lived in Melbourne and Sydney, jetting out for a few months each year to work for the Red Cross.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He's worked in just about all the instantly recognisable troublespots: Kurdistan, Iraq (he was there when <span class="companylink">Islamic State</span> took Mosul), Liberia, the Haiti earthquake, South Sudan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I hardly ever get deployed to Fiji,"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">he jokes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But he says this job is "singular" - a humanitarian crisis on an epic scale.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I've never been involved in a mission like this," he says. "From a human point of view it's heartbreaking. What you are seeing is really difficult."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From one point of view his job</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">is simple: when the refugees arrive in Idomeni they need food, shelter, clothing (it drops to freezing here at night), many need medical care (respiratory tract infections are common, almost every child has</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">a cough).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In concert with other groups such as the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> and <span class="companylink">Doctors Without Borders</span>, they do what they can. But the biggest challenge is uncertainty, Johnston says. The situation can change in an instant. Just a few days earlier 80 buses arrived from Athens in one day.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"There were 7000 people here, the police in riot gear were super-tense, wouldn't let people move around," he says. "It was really cold. People were getting one or two meals a day. They are with their families, their kids.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They're just regular folks. You talk to them, they're teachers, a carpenter, musicians. Just the entire population of a well functioning country is just being vacated and they're really uncertain about what's going to happen in their lives."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the border closes for too long it can get tense. In early December, when it was closed for days without explanation, migrants rioted. Angry graffiti from the riot still colours many tents around the site.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They really want information, that's the big thing," Johnston says. "They want to know what's going to happen with them, they want to know when the border's going to open, where things are at. There's a large desire. You can see they're just beset by uncertainty."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And it's hard on the local volunteers, too. Johnston says his people "tell me they cry every night when they go home".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Johnston says one of the contingencies he is planning for is Greece's nightmare: the borders close, but refugees keep coming.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is the suspicion, too, of the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span>'s head of the Idomeni field unit Alexandros Voulgaris. "[Idomeni] is a bottleneck," he says. "We could have a large population stranded here - hopefully the [Greek] authorities will get across this responsibility and move them to other facilities."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Greece is, indeed, setting up a series of "hotspot" camps to take <b>refugee</b> spillover. But locals have been protesting against them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Outside one, on the outskirts of Thessaloniki, a group of protesters stand blocking the entrance beside their "Oxi" ("No") banners.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Theodore Papagriogoriou says, "Our region is a poor region. If the European countries close their borders and we get 4000 people staying here, we can't provide jobs for these people, or houses, or food. This is a big problem for us.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I don't' believe [the government] has a plan. That is our fear." And if the border closes, it may encourage the criminal people-smuggling trade. According to reports, smugglers in the area sell fake ID papers at up to €1000 ($1600) each. And there are traffickers all over Idomeni, offering help to the nationalities who already aren't allowed over the border. They bundle into poorly ventilated trucks or risk precarious mountain tracks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A nurse at the Idomeni camp told of a regular stream of patients coming back down from the mountains, beaten by the terrain - or beaten by Macedonian police.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Freelance photojournalist Nicola Zolin followed one group of "second-class refugees" just over a week ago. "Dark has come, time to go ... forest and smugglers the only choice," she tweeted. "Tonight, like every night, migrants from Pakistan, Iran, Maghreb will try their luck crossing [the] border by foot ... Stranded migrants still prefer to get smuggled through the 'mainstream' route than trying Bulgaria and Albania that they see as dangerous."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A few hours later she reported: "One hour walk to the border, then their smuggler got beaten by people with sticks. Now they go back to Athens."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile, at the Idomeni camp, the refugees wait their turn.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Johnston says the demographics have changed this year - it used to be mostly young single males, now it is mostly families.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A Syrian woman is travelling with her three children: 10, 5 and 1½. Her home was destroyed, she says, and "if I stayed there for a million years we could not buy a house any more in Syria" - before the war her husband sold insurance, a concept now as alien as peace.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A young man, Shade, 21, fled Syria because he was told he had to join the army. He worked for eight months in Turkey to save money so he could catch a <b>boat</b> across to Greece - they crowded onto a small inflatable dinghy, "I was not scared for myself, death in Syria is the same to me as death in the water. I was just worried about the little ones on the <b>boat</b>."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And Naser Kasem, a 60-year-old Kurd from the north of Iraq, has a horror story: IS killed most of the people in his village, abducted his 22 year-old daughter, and killed two of his second daughter's young children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He is bringing his wife and his third daughter to Europe, to safety. They floated over from Turkey on two inner tubes lashed together, with 13 other people, including a two-month-old baby.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The water was coming through," he says. "We all covered the baby. I didn't care for myself, as long as the baby was alive."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Later, I see Kasem - and the baby - in the queue at the border (it's closed again).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is movement on the other side. Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov has come to visit.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He exchanges platitudes with the border guards.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But you can read a politician better by his actions than his words. He doesn't greet the refugees, standing in a bemused line barely a metre away. He doesn't even acknowledge them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Instead, he goes to examine the double-row of buttressed fences, and the razor wire at their base, and he nods his approval.</p>

"People smugglers will not prevail over our sovereignty," he told Parliament. "Our borders are secure." For those concerned about the human rights of the 267 <b>asylum</b> seekers, including 37 Australian- born babies, this was at best a distraction. A return to Abbott-era spin and rhetoric.

There was no attempt to address the moral and human rights issues raised by the plaintiff's lawyers, <b>refugee</b> activists and human rights spokespeople. No attempt to deal with the potential impact of this High Court ruling on the lives of already traumatised adults and children and on Australian-born babies yet to banished to a tiny remote island. The Prime Minister signalled that the government would not soften the Abbott-era policies because it was determined to ensure that "this pernicious,</p>

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton returned to the same mantra of evil people smugglers and preventing deaths at sea. He reassured us that children would not be sent into "harm's way". Given the reported cases of abuse and the testimony of doctors, psychologists and human rights workers on the impact of incarceration on children, this anodyne statement hardly bears examination. The opposition's response to the High Court ruling has been predictably passive, merely focusing on a call for more rapid processing and transferral of refugees to third-party countries. But the federal political response is now strikingly at odds with political and public reaction across Australia. There has been a huge groundswell of support for the <b>asylum</b> seekers - and especially the children and their families - to remain in Australia. Led by courageous Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews' writing to the Prime Minister offering to accept "full responsibility for all these children and their families", premiers from New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania as well as the ACT Chief Minister promptly pledged their support. Churches across</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia have offered sanctuary. National and international human rights groups and the Greens have been vocal in their criticism of Australia's treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers. And thousands have protested in public rallies across the country. What has made the Australian public so ready to accept a bi- partisan hard line policy on refugees? To accept with minimal disquiet a policy that the United Nations has condemned as breaching international law and</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">violating the Convention Against Torture? To dismiss the evidence of ongoing abuse and the impact of indefinite detention in harsh conditions on children and adults? In the first instance, there is the increasing shroud of secrecy that the government, with full support from the opposition, has increasingly thrown over all its off- shore detention activities. To ensure that information about conditions on the two off- shore detention centres does not make it into the public arena, the</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">government last year passed the Border Force Act. The legislation, enacted with opposition support but opposed by the Greens, makes it illegal for anyone working for the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, including health and welfare officials, to reveal any information about conditions and processes in detention centres to the media or anyone else. The punishment for doing so is up to two years' imprisonment. The government also refuses to disclose information on <b>boat</b> arrivals or turn-backs. Using the catch-all phrases of "on-water" and "operational" matters, the government justifies this information black-out as necessary to ensure that potential people smugglers do not benefit from information. Recently Major- General Andrew Bottrell, commander of Operation Sovereign Borders, refused to answer legitimate questions put to him at a Senate inquiry into whether payments had been made to people smugglers to return boats to Indonesia. His refusal was based on the grounds of "public interest immunity". Thus the public, politicians and media alike are denied the information they need to make an informed judgment about what is being done in Australia's name, by Australian-employed officials,</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">using Australian taxpayer funds. The government's border protection policy has now increased the secrecy surrounding detention centres and <b>boat</b> arrivals to such an extent that it arguably conflicts with democratic processes. Meanwhile, the hapless occupants of offshore detention centres who have committed no crime are pushed further into anonymity, their faces kept hidden from us. Then there is the conscious manipulation of the language to arouse fear and suspicion of <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees, casting the shadow of illegality over them. In 2013 public servants were instructed by the Coalition government to refer to <b>asylum</b> seekers as "illegal" arrivals. There is, however, nothing illegal in seeking <b>asylum</b>. Indeed, Australia is a signatory to article 31 of the <b>Refugee</b> Convention which states that people have a legal right to enter a country to seek <b>asylum</b>, regardless of how they arrive or whether they hold valid travel or identity documents. Still the tag of "illegal" attached to <b>asylum</b> seekers has entered our language and stuck.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An ethic of responsibility is needed to handle the <b>asylum</b>-seeker issue</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the <b>asylum</b>-seeker front, it has been a big week for expressive — as opposed to instrumental — politics. In Melbourne on Thursday morning, protesters abseiled from the Yarra Bend Bridge to unfurl a banner over the Eastern Freeway. It read “Let Them Stay”.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This was the most striking entry so far in support of the campaign that 267 <b>asylum</b>-seekers, temporarily in Australia, should not be returned to offshore detention in Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hannah Patchett, a 22-year-old abseiler, posted a message on <span class="companylink">Facebook</span> that read: “It’s outrageous that we even have to protest torture against children; we’re calling on the Australian government to uphold their obligations to international human rights conventions.” Now, children in detention are not being tortured by the Australian government. Nor is there any evidence that Australia has failed to uphold obligations to international human rights conventions with respect to <b>asylum</b>-seekers. It’s just part of expressive politics to engage in hyperbole, irrespective of the unintended consequences of such high-profile advocacy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In fact, detention centres at Manus Island and Nauru provide a much higher quality of life than <b>refugee</b> camps in most, if not all, parts of the world. German sociologist Max Weber (1864-1920) used to distinguish between “the ethic of responsibility” and “the ethic of ultimate ends”. Those who embraced the ethic of responsibility understood that successful democratic politics was all about slow boring through hard boards. Outcomes are achievable, but only after a degree of compromise.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, individuals who embrace an ethic of ultimate ends effectively declare: “Here I stand, I can do no other.” It’s a noble gesture, but one that rarely achieves pragmatic outcomes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Frank Parkin, in his 1968 study of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in Britain titled Middle Class Radicalism, developed Weber’s theories in the context of 20th-century Western democracies. He distinguished between advocates of instrumental and expressive politics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The former are “primarily concerned with the attainment of power to bring about desired ends, even if this means some compromise of principles”. Whereas the latter are “mainly concerned with the defence of principles, even if this means relinquishing power”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Patchett and fellow members of the “Let Them Stay” movement are into expressive politics. What matters above all is the purity of the protest and the proclamation of a higher morality.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was much the same earlier this week when 100 of Australia’s self-proclaimed “most prominent comedians” wrote an open letter addressed to “Rich White Men Who Are In Charge Of Things”, which was carried by Buzzfeed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The likes of Adam Hills, Tom Ballard, Judith Lucy, Rod Quantock OAM (really), Chris Taylor, Tony Martin, Celia Pacquola and even Steve Vizard told Australian political leaders: “Come on, bros: we’re talking about 37 babies here. You politicians are supposed to kiss babies, not deport them.” This is simply expressive politics. It’s not at all likely that Malcolm Turnbull and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton will read the petition and declare: “Yep; Ron Quantock OAM and his fellow funny bros are right. Let’s end offshore detention today.” But parading their collective conscience makes Australia’s “most prominent comedians” feel good.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then there are the churches, which are very much in the “my-morality-is-higher-than-your morality” business.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last week Peter Catt, the Anglican Dean of Brisbane, declared: “Many of us are at the end of our tether as a result of what seems like the government’s intention to send children (back) to Nauru. So we’re reinventing, or rediscovering, or reintroducing, the ancient concept of sanctuary as a last-ditch effort to offer some sense of hope to those who must be feeling incredibly hopeless.” The concept of sanctuary, whereby Christian churches once provided <b>asylum</b> to people not guilty of major crimes, prevailed in parts of Europe from the 5th century to around the time of the French Revolution. It has no applicability whatsoever to contemporary Australia and, consequently, cannot resolve the <b>asylum</b>-seeker issue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Misha Coleman, a member of the City of Yarra council in Melbourne, who also happens to be executive officer of the Australian Churches <b>Refugee</b> Taskforce, has supported Catt.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Interviewed on ABC 702’s Mornings with Wendy Harmer on February 4, Coleman railed against “state-sanctioned abuse” and advanced the cause of sanctuary. She did not indicate how such a proposal would work in Australia. And no one mentioned that Coleman was a member of the Greens Party.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hills and his bros Patchett, Catt and Coleman are all into expressive politics. Which raises the question — what is the instrumental answer to the issue of those <b>asylum</b>-seekers who are in Australia as medical patients or family members of a medical patient?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Here’s a modest proposal. Get Patchett off the Yarra Bend Bridge, encourage Catt to go back to the pulpit, suggest to Hills that he is best doing stand-up and remind Coleman of her obligation to attend to dangerous potholes in Fitzroy North.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The truth is that neither the Coalition nor Labor wants to detain <b>asylum</b>-seekers offshore if there is a realistic alternative. When Kevin Rudd ’s government announced a softening in border protection following the defeat of John Howard’s government, it put the people-smugglers back into business with resultant drownings. Neither the Coalition nor Labor wants to repeat this error.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As the Prime Minister indicated on Insiders last Sunday, any surrender to the “Let Them Stay” campaign could restart the surge in unlawful <b>boat</b> arrivals by <b>asylum</b>-seekers who are seeking a secondary movement to Australia from nations such as Indonesia and Malaysia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The likeliest way to satisfactorily resolve the problem is for ethics-of-ultimate-end types to go silent for a while and leave the matter to those devoted to an ethic of responsibility in much the way that detention centres were essentially cleared initially by Howard and later by Tony Abbott . This is an issue that can be resolved only by instrumental politics.</p>

Mark Steyn says Australia’s successful immigration policy is the right one</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australians should feel unashamed about our immigration policies and instead fight the growth of identity politics and the undermining of free speech.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That’s the message of provoc­ative Canadian commentator Mark Steyn, who tomorrow begins an Australian speaking tour sponsored by the Institute of Public ­Affairs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Free speech is at the heart of Steyn’s message. He is surprised that the controversial section 18c of our Racial Discrimination Act is still standing when his own country successfully repealed the equivalent parts of its Human Rights Act in 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Free peoples are losing the habit of free speech,” he says. “They’re taught, not really just at university but in fact from kindergarten, that there is a correct view of certain subjects and that incorrect views are distressing. The last two generations raised in the Western world, they don’t do that thing, the apocryphal Voltaire line, ‘I disagree with what you say but I’ll fight to the death for you to.’ They’ll fight to the death for you not to be allowed to say it.” The consequences can be disturbing. “People can actually lose the spirit of liberty and once you’ve lost that there are not a lot of easy paths back,” he cautions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Steyn says the initial reluctance of politicians and much of the media to acknowledge, let alone discuss frankly, events in ­Cologne on New Year’s Eve or the growing problem of sexual assault in Sweden did nothing to preserve social cohesion but instead widened a democratic deficit between governments and the governed over the tide of <b>asylum</b>-seekers sweeping across Europe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Free speech is like being a little bit pregnant,” he says. “You can’t be a little bit free speech.” He talks of meeting people fleeing the Balkans as a journalist covering the wars that accompanied the disintegration of Yugoslavia. “In Europe the whole migrant thing is basically open mockery of the whole idea of refugees,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Steyn says <span class="companylink">EU</span> leaders need to speak frankly about the forces now pulling people to the continent and how they are different.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He points to Africa. “People now have cell phones,” Steyn says. They can see what’s going on in the world. Even as recently as the 1980s their glimpse of life in the West came from re-runs of Dallas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s a different world now. They can see in real time their cousin who got on a <b>boat</b> from Libya and wound up in Italy and walked over to Sweden. They’re seeing in real time the kind of life their cousin is living. What percentage of North Africa has to decide ‘We’d quite like to move to Europe’ for there to be no ­Europe?” As a result, Steyn sees nothing wrong with Australia’s <b>asylum</b>-seeker policies. “Australia does what every country used to do until the 1960s. It reserves the right to pick and choose who it admits to within its borders.” He adds: “In effect, everyone in Australia is Donald Trump.” But Steyn points to the different recent experiences of <b>asylum</b>-seeker flows of Europe and Australia. “Europe is basically as near to Africa as Australia is to ­Indonesia,” he says, describing the <span class="companylink">EU</span>’s approach as “the equivalent of Australia telling everyone in ­Indonesia, ‘See you in Darwin on Tuesday’.” Steyn is blunt on the potential consequences of the uncontrolled flows of people. “If you lose control of your border you don’t have a country,” he says. In this environment, he is particularly concerned about the impact of identity politics and ­diversity policies that play on differences. He points to his experiences in the Balkans. “Once people start to think of tribal identities, you end up with tribal politics,” he warns. “It doesn’t matter if the tribe is Bosnians or Croats or whether its transgender and lesbians versus straight white males.” Steyn jokes about “the Stanley Gibbons stamp collection approach to diversity” but says it is a trap that can cause ­divisions in wealthy, comfortable and largely homogenous societies, be they in Europe or our own.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I raise my kids in New Hampshire which is 99.99999 per cent white,” he says. “I think there’s rumoured to be three black guys somewhere in the southern part of the state and two Hispanics. That’s it for New Hampshire.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It gets kind of boring and people think wouldn’t it be nice to have bit of this and a bit of that. We live here and we’ve got all these people called Smith and Jones and all the rest of it. It would be much more interesting if we can have a bit more diversity. So look. There’s that nice gay couple who have moved into No 28 Victoria Gardens. And — ooh, aren’t we lucky now? There’s a nice fire-breathing imam who has moved into No 30.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They can all meet. The fire-breathing imam can make conversation with the nice gay couple over the garden fence as they do on a Sunday afternoon.” Then the joking ends. “The situation they’re now realising in Europe is that when you’re so boundlessly tolerant that you tolerate the avowedly intolerant then you basically have turned that whole kind of Stanley Gibbons diversity thing into a civilisational death wish,” Steyn says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He warns against embracing the self-loathing that comes with the increasingly common use of concepts such as privilege and entitlement to delineate societal goodies and baddies — witting or not. “The minute you start using these things like privilege, what you’re doing is incentivising the most reductive kind of identity group politics,” Steyn says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Here, he specifically references 18c and “what groups you can claim to be a member of” so before the law “what matters is not that you are a citizen like any other” but which “groups you have a purchase on”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then Steyn the joker takes over, riffing off the old story about Cromwell’s portrait painter and the wart to illustrate the folly of the feelings of guilt that rack the bien-pensants of the West.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Nowhere is perfect,” he says, “but if you have basically a heroic national narrative as Australia does, there’s something psychologically unhealthy in obsessing on the warts to the exclusion of all else. What’s happening now is you say, well, we haven’t got enough warts.” Warming to his theme, he casts about for new sources of shame. “What a pity we haven’t got Hispanics,” he says. “That would give us a whole new wart, a whole great new oozing pustule sac in the middle of our forehead we could all feel bad about.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“That’s the craziness here. It’s Cromwell to the nth degree. ‘Don’t paint me warts and all. Just paint my warts and if I don’t have enough warts, add a few to my face. The more warts the better. That’s what we want. We want more warts!’ ”Bookings at ipa.org.au.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">T his weekend's multicultural festival is an apt time to reflect on the community's depth of feeling on <b>refugee</b> questions and, importantly, how this issue is playing out, in Canberra, the nation and throughout the world. As the city demonstrates the warmth of its embrace of multiculturalism - and enjoys delicious food - some people will turn their attention to asking the broader question: is there a better way on <b>refugee</b> policy? The current focus of this debate is the refusal by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to back down from plans to return 267 <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees, including about 90 children, to Nauru. How does this sit with our aspirations as a civilised country? And how do we rationalise the situation where a royal commission is investigating historical child abuse by institutions, but there are many current allegations of child abuse in detention camps? The majority public opinion backs mandatory detention in offshore</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">camps but there appears to be change. It remains to be seen whether the current spike in awareness over the likely deportation of babies to Nauru will galvanise any lasting change in the court of public opinion. This week a former employee at the Nauru detention camp said single adult men lived in tents that were hot, overcrowded, mouldy and infested with mice. Human Rights Commission president Gillian Triggs said on Tuesday detainees lived in constant fear of being physically and sexually assaulted, particularly outside the centre. Immigration Department chief Michael Pezzullo says some of the <b>asylum</b> seekers waiting to be flown back to Nauru are suffering from cancer and terminal illness but he warns about "moral lecturing" by those who fail to comprehend the consequences of softening Australia's</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">tough border protection regime. The group comprises mainly people who came to Australia for medical treatment, and their families. Mr Pezzullo says his department will take advice from doctors on when to return the group and that some would be leaving "within days". Everyone would "go back in due course" if there were no reason to keep them in Australia, he says. Australia is in no danger of being overrun by refugees from countries where we've participated in bombing. Nevertheless, radio shock- jocks are able to whip up hysteria about that possibility. These influential commentators - and some government figures - refer to "illegal" migrants, glossing over the fact that it is not illegal to seek <b>asylum</b> in another country. What the loudmouths don't bother to mention is the false economy in</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">maintaining maritime patrols and running offshore detention camps. How is it morally defensible to keep people on Nauru, even when the camps are "open"? Nevertheless, no one is seriously suggesting opening the floodgates and witnessing new waves of boats and, most likely, mass drownings. As has been discussed, endlessly, if there were an easy answer to this imbroglio, it would have been found and enacted. A former federal Labor government instituted mandatory detention but it was John Howard, reading the polls, who sensed a shift in the national psyche and ramped up the anti-<b>boat</b> people rhetoric. And he stopped the boats. Unfortunately, the proposal to process <b>asylum</b> seekers in United Nations' supervised camps in Indonesia and Malaysia, as a way of avoiding the dangerous ocean journey, has not been successful.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr is one of five state and territory leaders offering to take in the group, who face being sent back to Nauru after a High Court ruling last week upholding the legality of the government's offshore processing regime. However, this offer is unlikely to become a reality unless the federal government changes policy to allow the group to apply for temporary protection visas. Churches around the country took the extraordinary step of offering sanctuary to the <b>asylum</b> seekers facing deportation. The <b>asylum</b> seekers do not have the freedom of movement to take up this offer, which invokes an ancient Christian tradition. As well, the irony of the situation is that any church leaders who were somehow successful in accommodating <b>asylum</b> seekers could face criminal sanctions. All eyes are now on Mr Turnbull to gauge if he is prepared to show compassion and leadership on this tricky issue. Perhaps a short drive from The Lodge to the multicultural festival would be useful.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">T he Australian government is abusing <b>asylum</b> seekers. There are few other words to describe our policy of mandatory offshore detention, which is unsafe, unclean and unending. Assault, rape, murder, disease are just some of the dangers in our camps, alongside chronic hopelessness. This is a bipartisan evil, with both major parties arguing that these threats and indignities are for the sake of the <b>asylum</b> seekers themselves - to avoid "deaths at sea". This is not a practical solution, since many refugees will come to harm elsewhere - at sea, in countries that are not signatories to the <b>Refugee</b> Convention, or in their homelands. There are more than 19 million refugees in the world: they need to flee somewhere. But even if it were practical, mandatory offshore detention would still be an unethical solution. It is punishing one group,</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">ostensibly to deter another. The former have broken no laws by seeking <b>asylum</b>, yet they are penalised severely by our government and its proxies offshore. Importantly, this brutality is not in question: it is, after all, the very point of deterrence. Humane treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers who come by <b>boat</b> - most of whom are consistently found to be genuine refugees - is not our policy. Australian law promises maritime refugees "unnecessary suffering", as the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> put it early last year. Putting aside its utility for the</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">political classes, ordinary Australians' acceptance of this policy is interesting. For all the swaggering talk of our "fair go" country, many are clearly comfortable with the abuse of innocents, as long as they arrive by sea. Almost one in six support offshore detention, according to a <span class="companylink">Lowy Institute</span> poll. The Scanlon Foundation's Mapping Social Cohesion reports that about a third of Australians are in favour of <b>boat</b> turn- backs, which risk refoulement. While the overwhelming majority of Australians say they themselves would use all their assets to escape persecution, a Red Cross survey found that almost one in seven see <b>boat</b> arrivals as "illegal", giving moral weight to incarceration. Even if adult <b>asylum</b> seekers were guilty of serious legal or ethical transgressions - again, there is no evidence of this - this would be no argument for the punishment of</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">children. Yet many Australians accept what amounts to institutional abuse. They might lament the situation, saying that it's a shame to imprison kids indefinitely; that alleged sexual assault of minors is a terrible thing; that it is hardly ideal these children are "among the most traumatised" Australian paediatricians have seen. But they still support the system itself, the efficacy of which is prefaced on suffering. In this, my fellow citizens are supporting evils. They are vicious, in the original sense: demonstrating vices. These vices might include cruelty, understood as a pathological indifference to others' suffering. The medical qualifier is vital here, as human flourishing requires some distance from other beings. There is so much pain in the world, even feeling a tiny quantum of its agony would cripple us. This becomes</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">pathological when we not only accept suffering, but also endorse and encourage it. Not because we enjoy it - this is another vice - but because we somehow refuse to recognise it as an evil. There are other possible vices, but the point is this: to support, in principle and by vote, the abuse of innocents requires unethical traits. Note that this is not a sentimental cry for empathy. Those against offshore mandatory detention might not share the pain of the detained. They might simply believe that the torture of innocents is abhorrent, and oppose it out of quite consistent ethical principles: the Kantian maxim that refuses to treat humans as mere means to an end, for example. And those in favour of it might, with the "right kind" of people, demonstrate considerable fellow feeling. Instead, I am arguing that it is</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">impossible to support our treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers and believe oneself to be wholly virtuous. To endorse the torture of innocents is to give up on notions like fairness and kindness. This argument is unlikely to change minds, particularly given the partisan nature of the debate: <b>asylum</b> seekers line up conveniently on one side of the culture wars, alongside global warming. But it is important in these debates - such as they are - to bear witness. I add my name to the list of those who condemn Australia's policies on <b>asylum</b> seekers as grossly unethical. It is comforting to cry "not in my name" at these junctures. But this government acts in my name, and this fact alone inspires violently treasonous thoughts.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A week ago, my wife Cath and I were at home celebrating our son Joseph's ninth birthday. Another year of comfort and safety had passed him by, and another such year awaited him.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Joe was no doubt focused on his birthday cake, but my mind was elsewhere.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sitting on the kitchen bench was a newspaper filled with stories of a hundred stranded kids - kids just like Joe - seeking <b>asylum</b> in Australia with their families.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These were kids who were of Joe's age. Kids who were born in Australia - just like him. These kids belong here, they deserve to stay here. Call it a moment of clarity - call it whatever - but that's when I realised Victoria could help. So I wrote to the Prime Minister last Saturday with a proposal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We - the Victorian Government - offered to take full care of these children and their families, because shipping them off to a sparse island is not the act of a decent nation and not our idea of a fair solution. Right now, they are on a one-way ticket to Nauru, so we're offering to take full responsibility for them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some people called it a political stunt. I can assure you it wasn't. The last thing these kids need is more politics. In fact, it's only when you take the politics out of this sad situation that the right answer becomes clear. That's what happened to me.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over the weekend I met two of these kids and their ill father. I took them to the zoo. As we were walking around I didn't see in their father's face, the face of a man who was trying to manipulate a system or undermine a policy. I saw the face of a man who just wanted his boys to be safe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He'd escaped one of the most violent places in the world. Now here he was at the Melbourne Zoo with his boys. I wish you could have seen how much they smiled.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">People smuggling is a wicked problem, but for these kids there's no reason why we must settle on a wicked solution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Showing some compassion won't undermine federal government policy, because these children and their families aren't some theoretical group of people overseas waiting to come to this country. They're already here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under our proposal, the Victorian Government would support these children and their families and help them start a new life - as Victorians. In terms of cost, we're probably looking at about $10,000 per person when you factor in health, education, housing, counselling and support.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We're ready to work with <b>refugee</b> and settlement agencies to get the best outcome for these families and the best deal for Victorians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And there's one thing I truly believe: we'd only be financially supporting these families for a few years, because then they'd be in a position to pay us back in spades. They'll raise families, start businesses, join footy clubs and work hard every day for the nation that gave them a fair go.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That's what every wave of migrants to this country has ever done - from the Irish, to the Europeans, to the Vietnamese so-called "<b>boat</b> people" who Malcolm Fraser plucked from the sea and granted a second chance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These stranded children are no different.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They're human beings who lost the lottery of birth but still deserve the gift of life. They just want to be normal little kids like yours and mine. It's not too late to save them. We need to do the right thing. We need to let them stay.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">IT is a truism that once a society treats one group of people badly it makes it easier to repeat the dose, ramp it up, and extend the treatment to another group, and another, in an ever-widening process of normalising brutality.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When John Howard demonised the Tampa refugees 15 years ago by falsely claiming they threw their children overboard, he revived xenophobic, racist prejudices among a politically significant minority of the Australian population, enabling his government to turn a likely defeat by Beazley Labor into an electoral victory in 2001.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A 2011 documentary, Leaky <b>Boat</b>, uses material provided by former high-ranking military personnel, including a senior anti-terrorism squad officer, a head of military public affairs, an admiral and a head of defence department publicity, to detail the lengths Howard’s government went to dehumanise the refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The backdrop to Howard’s electoral success on the back of the children overboard scandal was the success of Pauline Hanson in the 1990s, when she won a Queensland senate seat on the basis of populist xenophobic views that Australia was being swamped by Asian migrants and indigenous Australians were a pampered minority.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Howard burst Hanson’s One Nation bubble by snaring her support base in one swoop.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is doubtful Australians at the time realised Hansonism would trigger a new era where views previously regarded as bigoted and ignorant would be seen as legitimate and provide the main agenda item for the 2013 Federal Election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In August 2001, the notion an Australian government would refuse to accept refugees arriving in extremis by <b>boat</b> was not completely formalised. The Howard government stopped short of abandoning Australia’s commitment to international agreements about refugees that extended back to the 1951 <span class="companylink">UN</span> <b>refugee</b> convention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The measures taken were bad enough — from offshore processing in harsh conditions to soul-destroying, indefinite detention in centres in remote Australian environments to go-slow assessments to ignoring the effects of prison on children and to publicly condemning suicide attempts, hunger strikes, self-mutilation and destruction of property as political blackmail.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But none of these measures went so far as to eliminate the possibility <b>asylum</b> seekers could be accepted as refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There was nothing to suggest in 2006-2007 that the “Howard brutopia”, as Kevin Rudd described it, would survive in various manifestations with the election of a Labor government. One reason Rudd won the 2007 election, and why Maxine McKew removed a sitting prime minister, was because Rudd espoused a political philosophy based on concern for the disadvantaged, including refugees. He made much of his admiration for anti-Nazi Christian activist Dietrich Bonhoeffer, intimating that values central to Bonhoeffer’s defence of human rights would underpin his own behaviour as PM.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During Rudd’s first term in office we learned that what he wrote about his political values bore no relationship to policy implementation, but that’s peanuts compared to what Rudd implemented with the New Guinea solution.He adopted a policy incorporating all the precedents of the Howard-Ruddock-Reith team and extending them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Tony Abbott responded in kind, dredging up the full Hansonism policy kit that even Philip Ruddock had stepped back from. The positions taken by Rudd, Gillard and Abbott are a throwback to an era in Australia that most of us had regarded as long gone.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They are policy positions that have been terrible curses to Australia in all sorts of ways. Racism in the past two centuries has ensured that apart from a minority of non-indigenous Australians who have acquired some of the knowledge that Aborigines developed over thousands of years, most of us remain fundamentally ignorant about the place in which we live.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Our innate racism has prevented generations from understanding how Aborigines managed the land — to our continuing cost. We are not close to understanding the use of fire that indigenous people knew of at the time of British invasion 200 years ago.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The same innate racism was writ large when the Japanese invaded South-East Asia at the end of 1941 and early 1942. No Australians paid attention to Japanese militarism in the 1930s, with the result that more than 20,000 Australian troops went into captivity from Malaya through to Rabaul in rapid succession in early 1942, overwhelmed by an enemy superior in strategy, tactics and leadership.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If anything should have jolted Australians from their notions of racial superiority, it was this experience.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We have demonstrated, since 2001, a xenophobia reminiscent of a century ago, enshrined in the 1901 Immigration Restriction Act, which established the White Australia policy. Again we choose the low ground.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We give no credence to the overwhelming evidence that those with the greatest need to seek refuge outside their own countries are likely to be the best and brightest of their own people, those who are persecuted for their courage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We give no credence to the fact those Bob Carr would describe as economic migrants are likely to be similar to the best and brightest who have fled Tasmania for a better life elsewhere, and continue to do so for obvious reasons.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We give no credence to the evidence that each wave of migrants to Australia, from the 1850s gold rushes to the mass migrations from war-torn Europe after 1945 to the post-Vietnam War immigration in the 1970s, has added immense value to Australian society.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Through all those events racism persists like an intergenerational tumour. Each step on the way from 2001 to 2016 has entered new territory, or at least plumbs previous inglorious episodes in Australia’s past. Unwanted immigrants from China during the 1850s gold rushes sparked racial riots and prompted legislative arrangements to hasten their return to China and exclude others from arriving, foreshadowing the first piece of legislation passed by the inaugural federal parliament in 1901, the Immigration Restriction Act.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some Chinese managed to stay in the Australian colonies. The descendant of one in Tasmania was my high school principal in the 1960s, and he exerted a profound positive influence on me and many other Tasmanian teenagers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rudd, Gillard, Abbott, and it seems Turnbull as well, are joined at the hip in their policy approach to <b>asylum</b> seekers, policies that are arguably the most inhumane proposed or implemented since the forcible removal of Aboriginal children from their mothers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The message to Australians everywhere is that it is OK to treat men, women and children of certain racial and ethnic backgrounds with brutality. It is OK to detain them indefinitely, to put their lives in an abhorrent limbo, and to treat them worse than convicted criminals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The centuries-old principle of habeas corpus, meaning that a person could not be held in indefinite detention at the arbitrary whim of the state, has been abandoned for <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrive by <b>boat</b> without visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are those who use all sorts of arguments to justify arbitrary detention, just as authoritarian regimes through time have always done, on the basis of the national interest, sovereignty, security of the state and protection of borders. Usually, such justifications are just political self-interest, ploys to remove perceived threats to those holding the reins of power or those seeking to gain them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Labor-Liberal nexus on this issue is abhorrent in the way it can destroy the lives of real people, including children, and in the potential it has for extension and broader application, especially through the role-modelling provided by the political system. It has been shown — not least in the most bloodthirsty period in history, the 20th century — that state-endorsed brutality flows irrevocably inward, tearing at democratic values, destroying egalitarianism and wrecking the capacity for civilisation beyond a stultified, hackneyed quest for approval from the power elite.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Labor-Liberal nexus seeks to provide a morality for its policy prescriptions by suggesting they send a message to people smugglers and are an attempt to stop people drowning. Baloney.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Neither the Howard government nor the Rudd, Gillard, Abbott and now Turnbull governments ever demonstrated compassion in their incarceration of refugees on the basis of age, from the youngest to most elderly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These governments have outsourced contracts to private companies to run detention centres, contracts that have cost the public purse — one firm made nearly $2 billion from 2009 to 2013. Four years ago, one company made a cool $2.5 million profit from just one detention camp in the Northern Territory.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Price-gouging, including understaffing, undertraining and a culture instructed not to report problems that could interfere with profit, provides some explanation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Things are getting worse. That’s always the case with the edge of the wedge in human affairs. Inhumanity, once introduced and justified, becomes normalised and legalised by politicians, political parties, parliaments and others who seek to hide behind the rule of law, however unjust and immoral.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Slavery was legal a few generations ago in the West. Incarceration for espousing unionism, rights for women, for religious affiliation, ethnicity and race, and for other reasons defined as illegal, have been part and parcel of the rule of law in so-called civilised nations through the 20th century.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now in Australia the rule of law has been manipulated for use against children. The decision of the High Court to uphold the legality of the Government’s decision to hold babies and children in camps on Nauru and Manus Island must rank as one of the most appalling in the court’s history. If the High Court is bound by legalistic rigidity that ignores basic human rights, the political system and its institutions are rotten.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The price we will pay for supporting cruel, inhumane and punitive solutions to desperate people arriving by <b>boat</b> will be far greater than the huge waste of resources ploughed into detention at home and abroad. We are creating legitimacy for discrimination and prejudice in our society, fostered by the national leadership of both major parties. We are at a crossroads in our ability to call ourselves a civilised society.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The dog-whistling jingoism of the Howard era fuelled the Cronulla beach racial brawls between flag-draped young white Australians and those identified as “the other”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is evidence we have passed the point of no return. Abbott has shown with his militarisation of border control, with 1930s German-style uniforms and their zest for policing the streets for identity checks, that we’re just a flag-fluttering or two away from putting jackboots on the streets.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The issue for Australians at the next Federal Election is that both major parties believe the end justifies the means. It is power without principle. They appeal to the lowest common denominator and prejudice, doing whatever it takes for their career in the corridors of power, for vanity and hubris.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australian politicians who remain silent over the High Court decision and do not publicly endorse closure of Manus Island and Nauru camps and the release of children deserve to be condemned and prosecuted for violation of human rights.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2001 Howard demonised refugees by allowing the public to believe they were willing to sacrifice their children to save themselves. In 2016 the Turnbull Government has no interest in even pretending to defend the rights of children.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ibtihal Samarayi 1964-2015</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The artist, teacher and scholar Ibtihal Samarayi was an Iraqi <b>refugee</b> who used her extraordinary talents to convey to mainstream Australians what it is like to be an <b>asylum</b> seeker.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She was born in Iraq on January 12, 1964, in the town of Ba'qubah, 60 kilometres north-east of Baghdad, the youngest of 10 children of Mustifa and Ganiya Samarayi and was part of a loving extended family. Mustifa was a successful businessman who owned a chain of department stores in Baghdad.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From the outset Ibtihal demonstrated a flair for overcoming obstacles. Too young at 5½ to start her formal education at a girls' school, she persuaded her father to allow her to attend a nearby selective boys' school. The only girl there, she achieved very high marks and her success in overcoming adversity had begun.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 1979 her family was turned upside down when Saddam Hussein became dictator and established a totalitarian state. He withdrew Iraq from the Western alliance, signed a treaty of friendship with the Soviet Union and in 1980 started the 10-year war with Iran. During the conflict, Ibtihal's cousin was killed at the front, one of her brothers spent 10 years in a prison camp and another fled to Germany. Then her mother died and her father was locked up in Abu Ghraib prison for two years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Through all that, Samarayi completed her cinematography degree at the University of Baghdad. In October 1990 she broke with her family in marrying a fellow graduate, Sadraddin Ahmed Aziz, who was a Kurd from northern Iraq. When the First Gulf War broke out three months later, the couple decided it was time to leave.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They first sought refuge in the <span class="companylink">UN</span> camp at Zelly on the Iraq/Iran border, and then at Chasma Gul in Iran. But the Iranian government was not welcoming so they fled to Turkey, where the <span class="companylink">UN</span> refused them <b>refugee</b> status because they had not arrived directly from Iraq.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For the next two years, fearing deportation by the Turkish government, Ibtihal and Sadraddin lived a shadowy existence in eastern Turkey, sharing tiny rooms and mud-brick huts with other families seeking <b>refugee</b> status - at one stage they lived in a cave. By then Ibtihal had had their first son, Mustafa, and to prevent the rats from eating him at night because they were sleeping on an earthen floor, she put him to sleep on her outstretched legs. But her determination to survive never allowed her to give up hope. The family finally gained <b>refugee</b> status with the support of the Australian embassy in Ankara. They arrived in Sydney on October 18, 1994, and nine days later their second son, Deyar, was born.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Deeply traumatised by her <b>refugee</b> experience and unable to gain recognition for her degree from Baghdad University, Samarayi sought retraining as an artist. She began a diploma course at Hornsby TAFE, and when Sadraddin gained a position in website design on the Central Coast in 2000 the family moved to Ourimbah. Samarayi enrolled in the fine art program at the Ourimbah campus of the <span class="companylink">University of Newcastle</span> and began an association with the university and the Ourimbah community that would last for 15 years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Samarayi completed her degree at a time when Iraqi <b>asylum</b> seekers were dominating the headlines. She was puzzled by their negative portrayal and developed her artistic skills to make their harrowing experiences more explicable to Australians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When three Iraqi girls in a <b>refugee boat</b> were drowned in the Indian Ocean in 2001 trying to reach their father in Australia, Samarayi produced a powerful collage painting of the little girls, likening their fate to the Aboriginal legend of the Three Sisters at Echo Point in the Blue Mountains. Today the painting hangs in the Humanities Building at the Ourimbah campus.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For her master's degree, Samarayi produced an unforgettable installation of the tiny mud-brick hut in which her family had lived in eastern Turkey. It was so small that only one person could fit in at a time and it was impossible to stand. <b>Refugee</b> life, she explained, was soul-destroying; this was why <b>asylum</b> seekers sought other routes to join family in Australia. She was particularly anxious that <b>asylum</b>-seeker children in detention centres should have access to art therapy, and upon their release she conducted her own classes for them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For her PhD in 2006, Samarayi explored the experiences of Iraqi <b>asylum</b> seekers in Australia's detention centres. The installation, Locked Inside, comprised gigantic papier mache padlocks in a circle containing visual images of detainees looking out to freedom with the giant key to liberation dangling above just out of reach. The installation created enormous interest and together with the <b>refugee</b> children's paintings of their lives in detention, it toured galleries across Australia from Darwin to Canberra. Some of the padlocks remain on display in the library at the Ourimbah campus.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For the next decade, Samarayi was an integral part of the <span class="companylink">University of Newcastle</span>'s foundation studies program, teaching art to mature-age students from underprivileged backgrounds seeking entry to university study. She was an inspirational teacher and the annual exhibition of the students' art work, which she organised with extraordinary flair on a shoestring budget, became the signature event at the Ourimbah campus. Her welcoming smile, inexhaustible energy and generosity of spirit made a huge impression on all who met her.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indeed, as one staff member pointed out, she was like Nelson Mandela, transforming her own experiences into paths whereby other survivors and her students could bring out their best.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2011, Samarayi completed and published her memoir, <b>Refugee</b> to Resident, which revealed in grim detail her own <b>refugee</b> experience. This inspirational book attracted particular interest among Rotary clubs across Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong. Samarayi made a profound impression on the members in linking her own experiences with those of Iraqi <b>asylum</b> seekers in detention today. She cared deeply about their fates and found it hard to understand why so many Australians seemed to perceive them as a threat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Samarayi told close friends in March 2015 that she was receiving chemotherapy treatment for cancer, she led them to believe that, like all the other adversities in her life, she would overcome it. But it was not to be. She died in Gosford Hospital three weeks after her last appearance at the end-of-year art exhibition at the Ourimbah campus and a month short of her 52nd birthday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ibtihal Samarayi is survived by Sadraddin and their sons, Mustafa and Deyar. As testimony to the very high regard and deep affection in which she was held by the largely monocultural Ourimbah community, several hundred local people attended the Muslim burial service at Palmdale Cemetery a few days after her death and then the memorial event organised by her family a few weeks later. The Ourimbah campus plans to establish a scholarship in her memory.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Premier, shame on you</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">DANIEL Andrews has disgracefully played to people’s emotions by offering to take in the 267 <b>asylum</b> seekers who face being sent to Nauru following the ruling of the High Court.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Victorian Premier is guilty of the most blatant grandstanding, going so far as to take two of the children among the <b>asylum</b> seekers to the Melbourne Zoo and posting a picture of them together.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Andrews boasts that he is prepared to offer sanctuary to the <b>asylum</b> seekers “because it’s the right thing to do”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No, Mr Premier, it is the wrong thing to do. You are offering false hope in a heart-wrenching situation where people smugglers are watching for the slightest weakness in the Federal Government’s turn-back-the boats policy that has saved so many lives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Andrews risk more drownings at sea if the people smugglers take his words as opening the way for them to resume a human trade that cost 1200 lives as Labor lost control of Australia’s borders during the Rudd and Gillard years in government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During that time, 50,000 <b>asylum</b> seekers arrived in Australia by <b>boat</b> with 2000 children in detention, that number having fallen to fewer than 200 and with no deaths at sea since the strict but successful immigration policy has been in place.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Andrews plays a dangerous game in driving a wedge between what has saved lives and the resolve of the Turnbull Government to continue with a policy that has frustrated the people smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Premier has no authority in this matter and his actions, together with the offer of sanctuary for the <b>asylum</b> seekers by the churches, increases the stress these vulnerable people are already suffering.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">New South Wales Premier Mike Baird has also offered to take in <b>asylum</b> seekers, but has left any decision to the Turnbull Government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not returning the <b>asylum</b> seekers to Nauru following the High Court decision will set a precedent. If those who are sent to Australia for medical treatment are allowed to stay, as is the goal of the campaign on behalf of those already here, the nation’s immigration policy will become a shambles.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By the same token, the Turnbull Government must make sure the conditions in detention on Nauru are humane and absolutely safe for women and children. Advocacy masquerading as journalism, as has been the case with some reports of a five-year-old alleged to have been raped on Nauru have been proved groundless.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For Mr Andrews to cloak himself in compassion for an exercise in politics, no matter how strongly he might deny it, is self-serving and will add to the plight of the <b>asylum</b> seekers, particularly the young boys who would have looked up to him as their saviour on their day out at the zoo. The Premier might see himself as kind, but what he has done is more likely cruel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Parole change urgent FAILURES in Victoria’s troubled parole system may once again have led to killings that might have been avoided had the law been applied.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The deaths of an adult and a young girl could be further examples of a breakdown in the justice system that allowed Sean Price to kill schoolgirl Masa Vukotic and led to demands for another review of the parole system in Victoria.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The latest murders, as reported by the Herald Sun, were allegedly committed by an offender who breached parole but was not put back behind bars, and an offender who knew his way around the system and preferred to serve his full sentence rather than submit to supervision while on parole.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This violent offender, who refused to undertake rehabilitation programs in prison, was allowed to live at a residence a judge earlier deemed inappropriate and who raped and killed his victim less than a month later. In the case of the offender released on parole after a sentence for a serious offence was reduced on appeal, he allegedly returned a positive drug test and was found to have child porn on his mobile phone.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The images were of his then partner’s naked five-year-old daughter, but a magistrate later considered they were innocent and the offender returned to live in the community where he killed six months later.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While there were widespread changes to the Victorian parole system after the murder of young Irish woman Jill Meagher, much more needs to be done.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another problem in the parole system that is confounding authorities is the growing number of prisoners who choose to serve their full sentence rather than be considered for parole. They then leave prison on their own terms.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There can be no doubt the state’s parole and judicial system in such cases is in urgent need of reform.Following the murder of Ms Vukotic, Premier Daniel Andrews admitted the system was “broken’’ and declared the job of the Government was to “protect Victorians’’ and to repair what this newspaper considers is so often a shambles. That so evidently remains to be done.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a debate about <b>asylum</b> seekers that turns as much on moral issues as legal ones, it is simply not good enough for the Turnbull government to hide behind legal technicalities.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet that is what Immigration Minister Peter Dutton did on radio on Tuesday. So did Attorney-General George Brandis in Senate estimates in tandem with the casual vacancy Queensland Nationals senator Barry O'Sullivan.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government's logic seemed to be that four High Court judges in a six-strong majority last week ruled that Australia did not detain <b>asylum</b> seekers on Nauru. By extension, the argument went, problems over there were no concern of the <span class="companylink">Human Rights Commission</span> and, anyway, Australians need not worry too much because even though you can't see what's going on, it is all OK.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Wrong.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Boat</b> people intercepted by Australia have been sent to be detained on Nauru under a Canberra-generated memorandum of understanding. Australian taxpayers fund the centre and more. The scheme is designed for domestic policy purposes. That is the commonsense truth; it is why the conditions at detention centres are our responsibility; why the government must open them to scrutiny; and why the Coalition and its acolytes must stop their propaganda war against anyone who dares demand the facts. Australia simply does not have an acceptable system of oversight of our treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers offshore. In an information vacuum, disinformation spreads and fills the void. Therefore the media must be extra careful to be accurate and balanced.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But claims about the extent of abuse against detainees on Nauru and Manus Island cannot ever be reconciled when independent oversight is missing and the government treats critics as the enemy. The views of the <span class="companylink">Human Rights Commission</span> and even premiers like Mike Baird in NSW and Daniel Andrews in Victoria have been belittled by the federal government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Mr Andrews offered to take responsibility for the 267 <b>asylum</b> seekers in Australia but due to be returned to Nauru, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull asked him not to play politics. And all the while selectively leaked photos of a child's playground on Nauru feed the government propaganda effort. That is rich indeed. When Mr Dutton is asked about the lack of transparency and myriad other abuse claims, he says he wants the media to deal with facts. That is impossible when workers are stopped from speaking out and media access to the sites is prevented. On Tuesday the Minister offered to help Melbourne radio host Jon Faine visit Nauru. But Mr Dutton made clear that "the issue is one for the Nauruan government as to whether they issue a visa".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That is farcical.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To make matters worse, public servants such as Immigration Department chief Michael Pezzullo have verged towards political behaviour at Senate estimates - the only place where the public's representatives can explore what is happening in Australia's name.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the Herald recognises offshore detention has reduced the flow of boats as part of a suite of tough border protection measures, we believe our government has a duty at the very least to ensure the least possible harm is done to people sent to Nauru and Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The number of children in detention has fallen from a cumulative 8000 during Labor years to 75 now. That's a tremendous achievement. Mr Dutton hopes to be the minister who sees no children in detention. But he won't make that happen now because he fears that would encourage more <b>asylum</b> seekers to put their children on people smuggling boats.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THE last time I provided published commentary about Australian politics was in the immediate aftermath of the 2001 federal election, when John Howard secured a third-term victory underpinned by public anxiety about national security and the unregulated arrival of <b>asylum</b> seekers by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The al-Qa’ida attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001, preceded that poll by less than two months. They deeply affected Howard, who was present in the US capital when they occurred. In short order Howard dispatched troopers of the Special Air Service Regiment to intercept the MV Tampa, thus drawing a dramatic line in the sand as to control of Australia’s borders. Within weeks the same troops who boarded the Tampa were in Afghanistan contributing to the operations, which removed the odious <span class="companylink">Taliban</span> regime.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those events from the last quarter of 2001 continue to reverberate down the years, shaping the scope and content of Australian politics and the rancorous culture war, which provides its theatrical backdrop. National security and detention of <b>asylum</b> seekers have been inextricably linked in the electorate’s mind ever since. And we have been engaged in continuous military operations against Islamic extremists across the Middle East and South Asia for more than 14 years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I left the media in December, 2001, to return to fulltime military service for three years. As it turned out I only retired from the Australian Defence Force last month, after 42 years in this nation’s uniform. If I am rusty on politics I trust readers will forgive me. Hence my observations about the tenor of our political system as we enter this election year are almost those of an outsider in a year when rage against insider politics is defining both the US presidential campaign and our own election terrain.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet I am struck more by continuity than by change as I compare our contemporary politics with those of 2001. As recently as the weekend the Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, supported by a favourable High Court ruling on the legality of offshore detention and processing of unregulated arrivals, was insisting the Government would preserve the integrity of Australia’s borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite some subtle tempering of his presentation Turnbull knows that he must substantively adhere to the substance of the Howard/Abbott policies on border protection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since 2001 the Coalition has effectively owned this issue. The ALP has been cajoled into acquiescence on border protection and offshore detention in an effort to neutralise these emotive issues. That 2001 election exposed fault lines in Labor’s ramshackle coalition of lower income voters and the middle-class professional elite, which provide its intellectual and moral leadership.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet the forces unleashed in 2001 by Islamic extremist organisations also pose a threat to the cohesion of the Coalition’s core vote. Labor is not alone in having a potential wedge between its elected elite and its core constituency.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One who understands how right-wing fringe parties can exploit legitimate community anxiety about Islamic extremism is former prime minister Tony Abbott. He was one of few senior Liberals who recognised the threat Pauline Hanson posed to the Howard government between 1996 and 1998 and he is monitoring the proliferation of right-wing micro parties seeking to exploit fear of Islamic extremism with interest.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Abbott told this column: “At the moment no serious senior conservative figure has come out and demanded the formation of a new political party to combat extremism. So for the moment I am not too concerned that parties like the Australian Liberty Alliance will make significant inroads into our base.” However, he qualifies such cautious optimism thus: “Since the change in leadership our base has been on heightened alert for signs of softening in our stance on <b>boat</b> arrivals or the need to defeat the global Islamic insurgency. So far they see continuity in policy and are not flirting with more extreme alternatives.” But he issues this warning based on his experience taking the fight directly to Pauline Hanson. “The best way to secure Australia’s borders and to defeat Islamic terrorism is to elect stable, sensible centre-right parties. Single-issues fringe parties actually risk undermining stable centre-right parties.” Turnbull will be relieved to learn Abbott refuses to offer any succour either to conservative commentators flirting with the Australian Liberty Alliance and others of its ilk, nor to restless colleagues who fret that under Turnbull there may be a relaxation of national security policy, which Abbott maintains requires the reduction of <b>refugee</b> flows by contributing to stability in Syria, Libya and Iraq through military and humanitarian means and unflinchingly controlling <b>boat</b> arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull may draw some comfort from his party’s ascendancy on the two most emotive issues of this century. John Howard demonstrated how the Coalition could undermine electoral confidence in Labor on national security. Interestingly, he managed to do that after narrowly surviving an election in 1998 at which he sought a mandate to introduce a Goods and Services Tax.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Turnbull grapples with how to achieve tax reform, maintain border security and contribute to the long war in the Middle East, he may draw encouragement that his predecessor is committed to the re-election of the Government and is lending no moral authority to any insurgency on the Coalition’s right flank.Group Captain Catherine McGregor AM is a former top military aide and 2016 Australian of the Year finalist.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">High-profile lobbying works against <b>asylum</b>-seekers</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NSW Premier Mike Baird should follow his father Bruce into federal politics if he wants a say in border control and immigration. But, no, he’s just grandstanding — apparently with little thought for what’s at stake. He is buying into an emotive campaign that, if it succeeds, will put the people-smugglers back in business. It would send a clear signal that if unlawful arrivals make enough noise, they can stay. Australia shouldn’t have to learn from Europe the lessons of open borders and uncontrolled immigration; we have been through this before. In the Rudd-Gillard period there were 50,000 unlawful arrivals by <b>boat</b>, 1200 drownings at sea and 8000 children in detention. Who will speak up for families about to fall into the clutches of people-smugglers?</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There’s no doubting Mr Baird’s compassion; it’s his judgment that’s astray. In any case, NSW has already offered to carry more than its share of the humanitarian burden; most of the 12,000 refugees from the Iraq-Syria conflict will be resettled in NSW. To the extent that refugees impose costs (as well as stimulating growth), Mr Baird’s economy is equal to the task. But Victoria’s Premier Daniel Andrews and, in particular, Queensland’s Annastacia Palaszczuk, who also have lent activists their support, do not have the same financial latitude; poor management has left their economies less capable of absorbing an influx of unlawful arrivals. Nor would most voters in these states agree with the open-borders stance implicitly adopted by the premiers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The activist campaign centres on 267 unlawful arrivals, most of them in Australia to accompany a family member receiving medical treatment; the group includes 37 babies whose photos feature in publicity for the cause. They are due to be returned to Nauru following last week’s failure of a High Court challenge to offshore processing. It’s worth noting that the rate of self-harm by <b>asylum</b>-seekers on Nauru fell to zero three months after Immigration Minister Peter Dutton stopped, in all but exceptional cases, the practice of family members being allowed to travel to Australia to accompany a sick or injured person. One reason for this change was the belief that access to Australia’s courts — and not just to its medical system — was a factor in some injuries and disorders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Operation Sovereign Borders has stopped the arrival of leaky boats, allowed the closure of most detention centres and reduced the number of children in detention to fewer than 100. The people-smugglers’ price of a passage from Indonesia to Australia has fallen from about $US10,000 in mid-2013 to roughly $US2000 ($2800), Australian Border Force commissioner Roman Quaedvlieg told a Senate estimates hearing yesterday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s fair to say the government needs to show more progress on third-country resettlement or return home for the 1500-odd people it sent to Nauru or Manus Island. But, as Malcolm Turnbull said on Sunday, the government cannot give “one skerrick of encouragement” to people-smugglers. “There are no policy options available in terms of border protection which are not tough, which cannot be described as harsh,” he said. To turn the plight of unlawful arrivals into political theatre is counter-productive. Campaigns alert the people-smugglers, who seize on any sign of government weakness or concession. The perverse consequence is to make it difficult for the government to exercise a compassionate discretion in a given case, as Immigration secretary Mike Pezzullo explained yesterday during Senate estimates. His (optimistic) advice to activists was that they should avoid “fanfare and gesture”.John Howard’s Pacific Solution managed to combine implacable rhetoric with generosity on the quiet. Many of the <b>asylum</b>-seekers resettled from Nauru and Manus Island between 2001 and 2008 went to New Zealand and Australia, but the government did not broadcast this fact. In the 2013 election campaign Kevin Rudd let everyone in on the secret, people-smugglers included. This has made it harder for the Coalition government to exercise discretion in individual cases. If it does intervene, <b>refugee</b> activists and the Greens will broadcast it from the rooftops and the price of a people-smugglers’ passage will start to climb.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
MALCOLM Turnbull is holding firm on the government’s tough <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy after yesterday slapping down a push from the states to allow <b>boat</b> arrivals to stay in Australia.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The PM warned the premiers that they risked a “colossal” humanitarian failure if the boats policy was “unpicked” for the 267 illegal arrivals who are earmarked for a return to Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews attempted to pull apart the border policy at the weekend, telling Mr Turnbull in a letter that he was “obligated” to make an exception for the group who had come to Australia from Nauru for medical help.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Victoria offered to take the entire group, including 37 babies and 54 children. NSW Premier Mike Baird and <span class="companylink">Queensland Premier</span> Annastacia Palaszczuk indicated they would be open to accepting the illegal arrivals if Mr Turnbull requested it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">SA Premier Jay Weatherill backed Mr Andrews’ approach.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The group is due to be sent back to Nauru after the High Court last week emphatically found by a six-to-one majority that the federal government’s Nauru policy was constitutional.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Federal agency advice to Mr Turnbull indicates sophisticated people-smuggling networks are monitoring every statement his government makes on the issue in the hope it could be used as a marketing tool to reignite the dangerous <b>boat</b> trade.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A defiant Mr Turnbull said he would not tinker with the boats policy. “People who seek to come to Australia with people smugglers will not succeed,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“What I’m not going to do is give one skerrick of encouragement to those criminals, those people smugglers, who are preying on vulnerable people and seeking to take their money, put them on the high seas in boats where, like as not, they will drown.” Mr Turnbull was referring to the hundreds of <b>asylum</b> seekers who drowned in rickety boats during the past two Labor governments, including 50 who perished when a <b>boat</b> sank at Christmas Island in December 2010.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia remains in negotiations with several nations in the Asia-­Pacific region to act as a third country alternative instead of Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 267 <b>asylum</b> seekers are made up of children and adults who were flown to Australia from Nauru because they needed medical attention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those requiring medical attention were allowed to be joined by their families and 37 babies were born in Australia during the period.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia will not return any until their health is cleared. All will be treated on a case-by-case basis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is some speculation some of the children with significant issues may ultimately stay in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We are dealing with these issues ... on a case-by-case basis,’’ the PM said. NSW will take the majority of the 12,000 persecuted Syrian refugees who will arrive over the next year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Baird said he was prepared to take some of the refugees set to be returned to Nauru, but only if the Commonwealth asked.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The same impulse has driven us to work co-operatively with the Commonwealth to resettle an additional intake of refugees in NSW following the recent turmoil in Syria,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last night, Mr Turnbull said he had had a long and “cordial” discussion with Mr Andrews and asked him not to play politics on the issue.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The dish Vung Tau grilled organic chicken with watercress, herbs, chilli, lemon and mustard sriracha.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Where St Cloud Eating House, Hawthorn East, Victoria.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Backstory Vung Tau, a province in southern Vietnam, is home to chef Franky Pham’s forebears. The dish was a family favourite when Pham, 30, was growing up in Australia. “My four brothers and I would rush home from school when we knew Mum was cooking it,” he says. The traditional marinade involves hoi sin, chilli, garlic, honey and sesame oil. His mother would butterfly the chicken, drop it in the marinade and cook it on the barbecue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Produce When the restaurant launched in December, Pham was sourcing ­organic chickens from Victorian producer Milawa; supply issues have since forced him to look further afield. Bannockburn free-range (but not organic) birds are being used as an interim solution, says Pham, who adds that the restaurant remains committed to sourcing organic chicken.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Method At St Cloud, Pham marinates the chicken for 24 hours, steams it, then finishes it on the grill to get that wonderful charry flavour.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The twist Pham tweaks the marinade recipe, adding fermented tofu and cutting down on the chilli. Instead, he adds heat at the end in the form of the famous Thai chilli sauce sriracha, offered as a condiment — spiked with lemon and mustard — alongside. On the menu, the chicken is tagged a “St Cloud classic”, your guarantee it will be there next month as well … and the month after that …</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The look The chopped-up bird is dusted with sesame seeds, scattered with fresh mint, watercress and strands of chilli and served on an earthenware platter.Price $40. This might sound steep for a chicken dish, until you see the size of the serving — it’s best shared ­between at least three, or two very hungry people. It would be criminal to waste any — and it’s a bit hard to stash leftover chook pieces in your handbag.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And also ...</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pham’s journey to Australia was a fateful one. His family left Vietnam on two <b>refugee</b> boats bound for Malaysia — half the family in the first <b>boat</b>, the other in the second, in case one of the boats didn’t make it — while his mother was pregnant with Franky. The trip was interrupted when Franky’s ­impending, premature arrival forced a stopover in Kuala Lumpur for the birth. “And my parents thought Australia meant Austria, so they’d packed all the wrong clothes,” says Pham.</p>
